Hip hop, or rap music as it's also called, started on the streets and in the clubs of New York City in the 1970s, but today many countries have their own kind of hip hop music, This kind of music has its roots in reggae，disco and funk music. Rapping, which speaking to the rhythm of the music，is an important part of this music. Young people rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.

Would you like to rap in class? Well actually, hip hop music is being played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA. Why? There is a new school programme called "Flocabulary" where teachers use text books and hip hop CDs to help teach a variety of school subjects.  The lyrics of the songs include information on a subject students are studying, which makes learning easy and  Students and teachers are amazed at the positive effects it has had on exam marks. This is one teacher said: "I've used hip hop songs in class, and I've never seen students have such interests in history!  It's unbelievable  how students  remember what I teach it even encourages us to waste our own songs.

Blake Harrison, a high school student, first thought of the idea of Flocabulary. The word "Flocabulary" comes from the words "flow" and "vocabulary". "Flow" is a rap word for "style" or the way a rapper says the words of a song. How did he get the idea'?

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste paper-basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.

　　The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames(火焰). Many of the girls are in hospital. The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

　　Sarah
