ABSTRACT
Who wrote this poem? (It is a collaborative poem. The class enjoyed a rap by Jimmy Grey from Rap with Rosen, published by Longman. All the class thought of a chorus and gathered ideas. Then groups chose a planet and wrote a stanza about that planet. They incorporated the information they had gathered in their study of the solar system.)
Discuss subject matter, style, words used, form. Raps always rhyme and it’s sometimes hard to find a rhyme. What can you do when
this happens? – Rearrange the line so it ends with another word. – Choose another word to replace the one that is hard to rhyme with. – Use a rhyming dictionary.
