Since 2017, hip-hop music has been the dominant music genre in the United States and many parts of the world, surpassing pop and rock. It has come to define modern music. In this one time class, we will take a look at it's origins in the Bronx, New York in the 1970's, it's four cultural pillars, it's evolution through the 1980's -2000's, and the discuss the many sub-genres that splintered from it. We will compare the different types from the original party sound, to the socio-political messages, to the modern era that combines both. We will examine how this style has been incorporated into other music genres and discuss why it has become the most popular music genre. This class will be presented in 3 short lesson videos posted Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each lesson video will be accompanied by different videos, activities, and worksheets. Students are encouraged to share their favorite songs and artists on the classroom page.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class will be discussing different artists and listening to parts of songs from hip-hop. Due to graphic language and song topics, many artists will only be discussed but not have their songs shared. Parents are advised that students will be learning about artists that do include adult language and topic matter in their songs. All discussions will be at an age appropriate level.
There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Louisiana State University
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions. I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.
I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism; Teaching Hard History in Grades K-5; Make Good the Promises: Reconstruction and Its Legacies; Choices in Little Rock: An Approach to Teaching the Civil Rights Movement.
