Auto Rap is a fun new app that you can download for free. You record yourself reading something (such as a poem) and it automatically synchs the syllables to a beat and turns it into a rap in your own voice. I wish I knew about this when I was teaching high school. It would have been so much fun to play around with when I was teaching poetry.
Here are a few ways I think you could use it:
1) Have students read poetry and listen to it as a rap for the fun of it.
2) Have students read information they are trying to memorize into the app to help your musical students remember it. (Besides, chants and songs help everyone's memory.)
3) Use it to introduce meter since it uses the rhythm in the language to synch the text to beats.
Happy rapping!
