JDC
In two classes, our students wrote a rap called "JDC." Before writing this rap, we had them select a topic to write about. They chose to write about JDC, but to "make it funny." They wrote the lyrics and designed the form, so here's what they came up with (as recorded by Alex and Corinne).
Believe In Yourself
One of our former students wrote beautiful poems and shared them with the rest of the class. Her poem "Believe in Yourself" was so inspirational, that we decided to add music and share it online.
Set your standards high, you deserve the best
Try for what you want and never settle for less
Believe in yourself no matter what you choose
Keep a winning attitude, and you will never lose.
Think about your destination, but don’t worry if you stay
Because the most important thing is what you learned on the way
Take all that you can become to be all you can be
And fly above all the clouds and let your dreams set you free.

Take all that you can become to be all you can be
And fly above all the clouds and let your dreams set you free.
