I posted a link to this on the
Free Technology for Teachers Facebook page yesterday, but I want to let folks who aren't Facebook users see it too. Canadian artist
Baba Brinkman has produced two rap versions of
The Canterbury Tales for your listening enjoyment.
The Rap Canterbury Tales was his Brinkman's first effort which is broken into 13 tracks.
The Canterbury Tales Remixed was Brinkman's second effort broken into 10 tracks. The albums are available on "pay what you want" model. You can also just listen to the tracks online.
Applications for EducationYou will want to preview the tracks before you play them in your classroom as some of lyrics would get a PG-13 rating. Aside from that,
The Rap Canterbury Tales and
The Canterbury Tales Remixed could be useful for helping students get the messages Chaucer was trying to convey.
