Week 1: Introductions

Term 1, Week 6: week beginning 6 March 2006

Rap introductions

During this week rappers send a short, introductory message about your class or group to the rap. In order to prepare the message, discuss the information that you would like to include in your class introductory message. You may like to include some information about your local area. You might identify some information about the location of the school in relation to other places in the local area.

In addition, you might like to make a comment about what you are looking forward to most about the Commonwealth Games.

Send the message to the rap when your teacher has approved the final text.

After reading other schools’ introductions, your class may wish to record locations of these schools on a printed rap map (see maps and tally sheets)
