Unit 8 Gran, Can You Rap?
Let’s talk What do you know about raps? What raps do you know? Are they sung or spoken? Do they rhyme? Reading Read the first line aloud, clapping on each underlined syllable. Read the whole rap, clapping on each beat. Gran, Can You Rap? Gran was in her chair, she was taking a nap When I tapped her on the shoulder to see if she could rap. Gran, can you rap? Can you rap? Can you, Gran? And she opened one eye and she said to me, Man I’m the best rapping Gran this world’s ever seen I’m a tip-top, slip-slap, rap-rap queen. She rapped down the garden and she rapped down the street, The neighbours all cheered and they tapped their feet. She rapped through the traffic lights as they turned red. As she rapped round the corner this is what she said, I’m the best rapping Gran this world’s ever seen I’m a flip-flop, hip-hop, rap-rap queen.

• Read the rap through once, emphasising the rhythm and rhyme. Encourage students to tap or clap with the beat. • Read the rap again, asking students to join in, or go round the class, asking groups of students to each read a rhyming couplet.
