The Student Workshop

Grade Level: 1-12, customized for any learning level Length: 90 Minutes Format: Interactive Writing / Performance Workshop Themes: Creative Writing, Poetry Analysis, Vocabulary Instruction, Media Literacy, Performance, Entrepreneurship Technology Required: LCD Projector/Screen, Speakers Cost: $1500* Students learn about the origin of the Flocabulary concept and are taught about the power of music and rhyme as memory techniques. After several introductory games, the students break down the craft of writing by working with voice, figurative language, and vocabulary. After watching Flocabulary perform and analyze several songs, students write their own raps incorporating vocabulary words and themes from history and literature. The culminating activity is a student performance where willing participants get the chance to show off their masterpieces. For older students, Flocabulary artists can add an introductory discussion on entrepreneurship.

"I really enjoyed your performance! My friends and I talked about you guys for the whole school day!"
- a Hicksville, NJ student

"During the Flocab performance, our kids even got to write a few lines of their own. It was an exciting event - fun, entertaining, and wildly informative. We look forward to having Flocab back again next year."
- Ayele Shakur, Executive Director, Boston Learning Center

The Professional Development Workshop:

Level: Teachers of grades 1-12 Length: 2 hours Format: Interactive, Writing Workshop Themes: Student Engagement, Lesson Plan Creation for Creative Writing, Poetry Analysis, Vocabulary Instruction, Media Literacy Technology Required: LCD Projector/Screen, Speakers Cost: $1750 Description: More of a discussion than a presentation, an emphasis is placed on understanding the pedagogy behind the Flocabulary program. Teachers learn how to lead their classes in the Flocabulary-style writing workshops, as well as create lesson plans that foster writing, poetry analysis, and abstract thought - all through hip-hop music and lyrics! Much like the student program, teachers write and perform to better understand the academic value of music and rhyme, and to learn to make connections with students in a socially relevant voice. A focus is placed on multiple literacies and high-interest content.

"Teachers really enjoyed their presentation. They felt it was really something that could help them connect with their students… The response was phenomenal.”
- Michael Guevara, president of the Texas Council of Teachers for English

"It was the best assembly ever!"
- a Newport News, VA student
