Teachers, use this kid-appropriate hip-hop song for kids to teach the structural elements of poetry: rhyme scheme, meter, line break, stanza, etc. Download the mp3 and play the song for students. Then display the lyrics. Students can then work together to label the elements of poetry! Lots of fun!
Lyrics:
heck it out, this song is all about three crucial things you can't succeed without
The first is important yeah, have no doubt
Set a goal... (aww yeah)
Then we'll plan the route
Chorus:
GPS.
