Hip-Hopping Away
Students explore the ways in which music and performance convey emotions and ideas that may vary in different cultures. They will see how their own preference for certain types of music conveys aspects of their own identity. They will then move from selecting music that reflects their personal taste to aspects of less familiar music. Students will look at ways in which music and performance are influenced by cultural traditions and by global trends. Based on all these experiences, they will then create a performance of their own.

Assessment
Assessment should be ongoing throughout the unit. Teachers should monitor student engagement with each task and the level of cooperation and collaboration during group activities. Use the discussions occurring within 'Activity 4: Metacognition' as the basis for further assessment. The student self assessment sheet used in the unit titled Camel Journeys could be adapted for use with the performance stage of this unit.
