A History of Hip-Hop

In 6 lessons, learn about the origins of Hip-Hop and its development as a music genre. You will look closely and key artists who dominated the East-Coast and West-Coast scenes after Biggie and Tupac, and discover three key contentious areas of Hip-Hop: women in Hip-Hop, whiteness in Hip-Hop and the LGBT+ Community in Hip-Hop.

Our first cycle of lessons on Alternative Curriculum is on poetry in celebration of Black History Month. The theme of identity will be explored and a range of poetic styles from different eras will be discussed. From the Harlem Renaissance to rap music the lessons will explore how to successfully analyse and annotate poems.
