3rd Grade Rappers

Today we turned the 3rd grade poets into 3rd grade rappers! After listening to “Summertime” by Will Smith and “Amorforoda” by Bad Bunny we discussed their use of couplets. The poets were then asked to write their own rap songs by writing couplets about themselves. Like rappers, the poets had to write about their positive qualities. Enjoy!

3rd Grade

by Ailin

Yo soy muy fuerte
Porque no tengo miedo a la muerte

(I’m so strong
Because I’m not afraid of death)

by Ilias

I’m so kind
I can’t get you off my mind
I’m so fast
I like to laugh
I’m hyper
And my sisters name is Piper

by Marina

I am cool
Even at the pool
I am smart
Even at the start
I am so clean
Cleaner than a bean
I am so kind
It is easy to find
