How flowing lyrically helps knowing history

How can rapping be of any importance
to learning the history of Tudors and Normans?

Developing confidence and capability in History is greatly aided by being able to quickly identify and recall a wide variety of historical facts, events and themes. Cognitive scientists recognise that one of the most effective ways of remembering such material is through the use of mnemonic devices. However, it is commonly believed that such learning aids are difficult to generate.

Revision Raps turns this wisdom on its head. Employing methodologies which have evolved over a decade of work in schools in the UK and the United States, we utilize the accessibility and appeal of rap music to create efficient and entertaining reminders of core content. Students enjoy themselves whilst focussing on the meaning of key terms and concepts, making the process a great way of learning and remembering course material. For example, here is a video about US History we made with students in New York City: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3VrR_7FUYw

artistially
and as an

tool”

In-class Programmes
We can help your students to create their own music and videos, providing an interactive, multimedia learning experience so memorable that students won’t forget what they rap about. Through writing, recording and listening to their own raps, students are immersed in the repetition of key methods and concepts in an enjoyable and rewarding way. Participants are left with a creative product which serves as a continuing learning aid. We can tailor programmes to any age or ability group. One-off workshops are priced from £350.
