Rapping Teacher – level 3

16-03-2023 15:00

A religious studies teacher made his mark on his Chilean high school students with his unique hip-hop-influenced teaching style.

After only a year at the high school, Hans Herrera, a 26-year-old teacher, engaged his students using rap music. The young teacher says that he busts a rhyme to reward his students and to bring coursework to life.

Mr. Herrera said that it all started when his students found out that he used to rap on city buses to earn a bit of extra cash.

Difficult words: influenced (similar to; inspired by), bust a rhyme (start rapping).
