What educators are saying
This is an excellent resource! Very detailed with engaging lessons. The resource was missing a document and when I contacted them to let them know, they got right back to me a provided me with the missing document and have updated the resource for future buyers. I would definitely recommend.
As my school tries to implement IB standards in our curriculum, this was a wonderful resource that helped guide my Kendrick Lamar unit. I love the inclusion of global issues and the album cover analysis.
Description
This unit is designed for mature, upper class students due to the explicit nature of Lamar's Pulitzer Prize winning lyrics.
The unit walks students through:
- Author bio
- Album and lyric analysis
- Identifying global issues
- Comparing and contrasting in a Venn Diagram
- Background research into the relevant content addressed by Lamar
- Listening to a podcast
- Analyzing a music video (content may be distressing--trigger warnings for violence and police brutality)
- Identifying the poetic techniques
- Culminating in a student produced podcast
Links and resources including an outline and scripts are included
