I wrote this song to be performed with the "instrumental" version of Ice Cube's "today was a good day" on youtube. However, you could perform it to anything. The rhyme scheme is not to complex so anybody can do it. It focuses on the 12 main gods of Mount Olympus. Greek Gods Rap Just lookin'up to the mountain up to gods some of them might seem kinda odd they can’t be seen they’re above the cloud The Greek word hubris means to be proud Zeus is the king and the god of the sky His lightning

Senator, Senator, What Do You Do?

After that occurrs, you can begin teaching them the concepts imbedded in the chant. You could also take the text and make i

In this video and song George Washington and members of the Continental Army sing about the night they crossed the Delaware River to surprise the British and their Hessian mercenaries at Trenton. The song is sung to the tune of "Silent Night." Little did the world know that the first rendition of "Silent Night" took place at this historic event! The singing is a little off-key but what do you expect from a recording that took place over 200 years ago. The lyrics are on the screen so you and yo

North Carolina Constitution Rap: "Constitution On That Beat"

Created by

I wrote this rap to the tune of "Juju On That Beat." This can be used as a resource when teaching about the NC Constitution. This was written based off of NC 4th Grade Social Standards, but it can be used with other grades that are learning about the Constitution too. You can play the song and have students analyze the lyrics. You could also create a list of questions for students to answer about the Constitution based on this rap.
