Scott Collegiate Hip Hop Project: April 2010

What is the Scott Collegiate Hip Hop Project?

The Hip Hop Project version 3 (HHPv3) is fifteen students in grade 10, spending their mornings earning English and Arts Ed credits while learning about Hip Hop culture. The Hip Hop Project is offered through a partnership with the University of Regina. Two morning a week, students work towards earning an Arts Education 10 credit at the Interactive Media and Performance studios at the U of R. Dr. Charity Marsh facilitates sessions with local Hip Hop DJs, graffiti artists, MCs, and B-Boys and B-Girls. In one of the studios outfitted with turntables, students learn the art of scratch. In the other studio, students learn how to use the MPC beat machine and computer software (Ableton Live) to make music. In addition to the music side, students spend an hour a week at FLUX Crossfit, learning how their body works, and how to keep physically fit. When at Scott, students are doing activities around the six strands of English Language Arts that relate to Hip Hop. They are reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing and representing Hip Hop culture.
