Questions / instructions:
Here is a "rap" rhyme.
Let's read it through together, so we know what it says.

Read students the chart.
Now I want your team to practise reading the rap as a team, without any help from me.
I want you to practise reading it together so that it has a very strong beat.
Do that now.
Teacher withdraws, allowing students up to 2 minutes to practise.
You've practised reading the Rap with a strong beat. Let me hear you saying it. Do it twice.
Students say the rap with a strong beat.
This time, I want you to read it again with a strong beat so that it sounds like fun. You can also give it extra expression by using body movements.
Practise doing that now.

Teacher withdraws, allowing students up to 2 minutes to practise.
Now let me hear you saying the rap the way you've been practising.
Students say the rap.
Now I want each of you to read parts of the rap on your own. I will tell each of you the colour lines that you will read.

Allocate lines to students according to colour codes.
Now practise as a team reading the rap —but each of you will only read the lines I have given you. Try to make it flow — so that it has a good rhythm and beat from the start to the finish.

Practise doing that now, and remember that you can use body movements.

Teacher withdraws, allow students up to a couple of minutes to practise.
Now perform your rap to me, doing it two times, each person saying their part.
Students read the rap in parts.
Now I want your team to sing the rhyme. You will need to work out a melody that sounds good.
Practise doing it a few times, then I'll ask you to do one really good performance.
Allow a couple of minutes for practice. Teacher withdraws.
Now I would like you to sing your rhyme to me. You can do it a couple of times.
