Okay...so ladies and gents, it been a while since my last update! Free Styling is well...very difficult. My students are so good at it. It flows from the "dome"...LOL! The phrase, it flows from the "dome" means the lyrics just come from your head and out your mouth effortlessly. I'm a bit embarrssed by my 1st few attempts, so I won't post via YouTube until later.
I will however post my kids doing it later this week or early next week. It's been a little crazy teaching Math here at Clarke Middle. y = mx + b...yay, for linear equations. Hmmm....I might just do some freestylin' about Math...my students would say that is lame. But you free style about your experiences, your neighborhood, your school life.
I am finding it a bit relaxing at times!
OH! And my kids are teaching me all the lastest dances along with free stylin which is really GREAT! My students are really getting a kick out of teaching ME something...and I must admit...I'm having fun learning!
Until next time...This is "MOB" signing off...

Free Stylin'
Dear Readers:
My name is Matthew Bryant, aka "MOB". So, I work for Clarke County School District teaching 7th grade Middle School Mathematics. So...you are wondering about the "MOB" title! Let me tell you...my students at CMS are really into rapping aka freestylin'. I've seccretly always wanting to try and attempt this feat.
I am a big component in the phrase "getting into my kids backyard". This means tapping into their interest. My hope is to try to incorporate my the math into the rhyme...but no guarnatee!
Free Stying is when MC's try to rhyme lines without having it memorized .. usually to dis each others in competions. The difference between free style and rap is that rap focuses on the meaning more than rhyming .. free style as long as it rhymes it's in good shape and the best free style is the strongest or more powerful or has more impact when said.
So...wish me luck as I tell my students tomorrow that I want to try this. I will more than likely post Youtube clips.
Thanks for reading AND wish me LUCK!
