Bad Grammar
Bad Grammar
Description:
This lesson uses a video parody of rapper Timbalands "The Way I Are", and examines the bad grammar and slang used in pop music. Students will learn common terms like, "ain't", "got no", and "we be". They then discuss why pop songs often have bad grammar and spelling and also whether these terms are really all that bad. Be aware that the video does show a woman in lingerie; if you prefer, you can just use the printed lyric sheet instead of the video (included in resource).
