Teachers Reach For Hip-hop Pupils

Most students would never imagine their high school English teachers spending summer break freestyling and listening to hip-hop. But in an effort to reach out to students, that is just how area teachers have spent the last two weeks.
A class offered by the UW-Madison Summer Institute, with help from Youth Speaks Wisconsin, aims to give teachers the tools to bring hip-hop and spoken word poetry into their classrooms.
