Spitting Facts

Revision Raps help you learn what you need to know, and tell the message that you want to teach. Connect and memorise key ideas in an effective and efficient way, whilst developing confidence, voice and having fun

Before the invention of writing, the most effective medium for storing and exchanging information was song. The inherent musicality of rhyme – the resolution of tension through two words having different-sounding beginnings and same-sounding endings – automatically attracts the ear. So you pay more attention, and the statement is thus more memorable.

Learning is enhanced by multi-modal engagement: Listening to songs, watching videos, writing, then recording and performing lyrics. Each stage involves the repetition of key words and concepts, improving confidence in learning, recall and pronunciation, helping with embedding and retrieving knowledge.

Above all, the use of rap makes learning fun. The use of rhyme, music, technology and youth culture keeps students engaged. The whole experience is more memorable – and so is the subject content.

To optimise both efficiency and enjoyment in learning, use rap!
