Description

Bomani’s residency walks students through the exciting world of hip-hop songwriting while writing verses about subjects they study in class. In Rock the Mic, students receive in-depth instruction on elements of creative writing, using simile, metaphor and rhyme to structure a song written in the pattern of a well-written essay.
