More Work on Rap Battles

Today we met our partners again and went over the first half of the rap battles, the boast.  This is where you boast about your accomplishments and why you are famous.  It is important to revise to include sound devices such as assonance, consonance, and alliteration, along with full rhyme and repetition.

You might find http://www.rhymer.com/ helpful to find rhymes.

Remember, the more specific, factual evidence you can include, the better off your raps will be.

Tomorrow we are talking about the second half of the battle, where you must "diss" or discount your opponent's boasts, proving that you are superior to them.

Homework:  Your second half of your battle is due tomorrow.
