Hoʻokupu Learner and Teacher Resource Guide
Hoʻokupu is a Hip Hop anthology of Hawaiian history created by a masterful team of Hawaiian cultural historians, Hawaiʻi's top MCs, educational consultants, teachers, Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-winning hip hop artists, producers, hip hop lyrical advisors, and academic professors–including Kumu Maile Naehu. This collaborative project can be used in classrooms as a rich and engaging resource to teach Hawaiʻi's history. As an initiative of education through arts and culture, we optimized this project by creating supplemental resources. Each song is treated as a unit in this Learner & Teacher Resource Guide. Each unit includes a brief introduction, followed by the lyrics, several writing and discussion prompts, and a poetry sample and prompt. A recommended list of sources that can be used to supplement the content areas covered within the song is also included.
Recommended Ages 12+
