Today’s Lesson: Hip-Hop by Anita Perry
Year after year, most literature classes cover the same authors and genres. It’s time that educators made a change. For teachers to keep current and engage students, we must allow students to read diverse texts from their own generation. As a first step, hip-hop should beincluded in the literature curriculum.This suggestion is not as odd as it may seem. After all, hip-hop is simply another formof poetry, as are all song lyrics. It contains rhyme scheme, rhythm, and meter. In addition,hip-hop lyrics deal with the same timeless themes as other forms of poetry, including heartache and the challenges of growing up. In many ways, today’s hip-hop artists are contemporary versions of Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson, only with a modern, fresh perspective.What is the author's argument or claim? 
a)
Hip-hop should be taught as literature.
b)
Hip-Hop is a form of poetry.
c)
Hip-Hop is not appropriate in the classroom. 
d)
