Egyptian rap

Thousands of years ago the Egyptians wrapped up their mummies.  Here's your chance to do a little rapping of your own.

(Get it?  "Wrap?"  "Rap?")

Your assignment over this big three-day weekend is to write a rap based on our studies of ancient Egypt.  If you are not into rap, you can write any other kind of song (rock, country, pop, opera - whatever you're into.)

You should post the lyrics on your blog.  If you do a good job on this 50-point assignment, you will get a good grade.  But in order to get an excellent grade (known as an "A"), you must perform your song before the class.

If you want musical accompaniment (beatbox, guitar, etc.) provide it yourself or with the help of someone in your class.

If you are uncomfortable "performing" in front of the class, and you still want to go for the A, you may submit a video for me to show to the class.

Total length should be at least two to three minutes - longer if you like.

So set up a jam session
Good luck to all the sections
Let me know if you have questions
Go for perfection - Follow directions - Use your connections
Have some fun, get it done, and I won't raise no objections

Peace
