I really like this site! rapgenius What is Rap Genius? Rap Genius is your guide to the meaning of rap, R&B, and soul lyrics. You can listen to songs, read their lyrics, and click lines that interest you for pop-up annotations – we have thousands of canonical rap songs annotated. Education Genius What is Education Genius? The Genius Education Department works closely with teachers at all levels and across disciplines to design and implement classroom projects using the “Genius” collaborative annotation platform. Whether the assignment is a classic work of literature, primary source historical document, or scientific article, Education Genius lets students analyze and discuss their coursework line by line. We’re updating close reading for the twenty-first century! Who writes the annotations? Working across the Rap, Rock, Poetry and News Genius channels, students are major participants in our project of breaking down all genres of writing. Teachers add texts to the site and students sign up for accounts to annotate their reading, earning “Genius” IQ points for their contributions. Who do I contact if I’m a teacher, professor, or school? If you are an educator interested in using Genius in your classroom, check out our Resource Guide.
