Spoken Word

Resources:

The below video clips.


What to do:


Share these songs/raps/music/spoken word with your students in a spare 5 minutes, or as a starter/plenary.


The topics discussed are related to being a global citizen. I have used many of the pieces in a unit called Citizenship through Music.

Try Dear Mr President- By Pink.

Or Flobots- No Handlebars.
Don’t Hide It by Lowkey
Racist People- Roll Deep.
Terrorist- Lowkey
Foreign- Hollie McNish

There are many more, some of my favourites to get students really thinking are,



  • Anthony Anaxagorou– My Students were lucky to work with Anthony alongside First Story to create published pieces of poetry. 
  • Ibrahim Sincere– My Students were also lucky to work alongside Ibrahim in discussing their ideas and inviting him into a panel discussion about Peace and Unity.
  • Suli Breaks
