Part 1 - Final Assignment

Explain to the students the objectives of the final assignment for Part 1 and give participants time to work on the assignment in class. They will present their work next class.

The goal of the assignment is to creatively produce something that reflects any one of the topics that we have covered throughout the duration of Part 1.

Ask students in what way they would like to be creative. Give them a choice to determine their own final assignment/project. (examples: poetry, collage, painting/drawing, dancing, photography, rap, song, theatre, etc.)

Review the topics covered in Part 1:

• What is Hip Hop?
• Who Defines Hip Hop?
• Is Hip Hop Dead?
• Women in Hip-Hop
• Breakdancing/B-Boy/B-Girling
• Historical Implication of Breaking (Capoeira & Slavery)
• Does Slavery Exist Within Hip-Hop?
• Bling (Gold/Diamonds) vs. Water
• Privatization of Water
• Conflict Diamonds
• Slanguage (the Language of Slang)
