Shy Ronnie vs. Boston Public Schools

via educationalrap:

In case you you missed it, the most recent Digital Short on SNL, “Shy Ronnie” (feat. Rihanna), is pretty funny.

It struck a chord because it reminded me of the workshops RRR did with Boston Public Schools this past summer.  We worked with three groups of middle school students to help them write and record a song about summer, including their own verses and a joint chorus.

Thing is, we lucked out:  there were hardly any Shy Ronnies!

Here’s the results of the student’s work.  (Thanks to The Arcitype and Tommy Boots, who provided and helped us with music, recording, lyrics, and workshop leadership.)

Here’s one of the videos of the kids recording (skip to around 4:05):
