 * Autorap by Smule is a new lit tool that teachers can use with their students within an ELA or Social Studies classroom. Autorap is a fun way to encourage students to use the information that they know about a topic to create a rap. Sharing the raps with the class will be a fun way to introduce new topics at the beginning of a lesson. The great thing about this tool is that it alleviates the pressure of getting in front of the class and presenting their research. When using Autorap, students read what they have written into their personal devices, such as a phone, and Autorap does the rest. Students can choose the beat for their rap, and the app turns their speech into a rap.
