Write your own Rap! Activity

Faiza Hassan

Student Contest--Write a Rap

 

Rules:

  • Pick a story that interests you from one of the NYT sections
  • The rap should be original and must not include profanity or vulgar language
  • The rap should be 16-18 lines
  • It’s fine to focus on a smaller topic found within a section in The Times. For example, you can write a rap based on just the government shutdown rather than the whole range of national or political news this year. Or, you might focus on 2013 movies rather than covering other news from the Arts section. But you should also feel free to include as many, and as wide a range, of news stories from a particular section as you like
