Project created and written by Robert “Bluesman” Ross
This project is made possible with funds from the Local Capacity Building Initiative, a regrant program of the Arts in Education Program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by BRIC Arts / Media / Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).
Project designed for blog by lead teacher, Frank H. Jump.

Robert Ross has worked with our school through BRIC’s Rotunda Gallery. This grant was written by Ross for our school, PS 119, where I teach technology. I took Ross’s curriculum, in which the task for students is to write four lines of rhyme or rap for each section, and created a blog-quest with links to the songs and lyrics, in addition to providing powerful images culled from the Internet with additional links and resources. Feel free to use this in your classrooms. Please leave comments.
