My Pride Rap

Students can use this activity to write about the significant events they've experienced that they're proud of and create a rap that celebrates their pride in their achievements.

The prompt for this handout is as follows: "Think back on your life thus far, or choose to focus on your lived experiences during the past year. Visualize the significant events you experienced during that time—the ones that really stand out in your memory as truly proud moments. What were they? How did they affect you? In what ways did they make you feel proud? Now, use the first space below to write about that proud memory in your own words. Then, using the six lines below, turn that pride into your very own six-line, rhyming rap song! Use the example in the lower right corner of this page as inspiration!"
