Course Description | [|Resource Book for Hip Hop Syllabus.pdf]:**

Hip-Hop culture is a worldwide movement that is important to our collective, shared knowledge of history and culture. This class will evaluate how hip-hop for social justice looks inside and outside of the United States and use social technologies to critically analyze the similarities and differences. The skills and tools examined in this class can easily be part of the skills base needed to excel as a college student. For example, many courses in the College of Education require you to participate in blended classes, or classes that take place in both face-to-face and digital realms.

In this class we are asked to participate in critical discussion in virtual forums as well as produce materials appropriate to those environments (respond to readings on a course web-site, engage in chats based on course content and create power points, podcasts, movies and/or other digital medium to present your learning). As a way to help you prepare for these demands, this class will help you develop both critical thinking skills and skills in producing different types of digital media.

We will be examining Hip Hop Artist from every continent (except Antartica)!

Before we start we should answer the following questions...


 * What is Hip Hop?
 * Why Hip Hop for Social Justice?
 * Where is Hip Hop?
