About ten years ago, 5th graders in Miami, FL
told me that they like to rap I SPY. I was amazed and said, "Let's hear it!" They rapped
one I SPY page after another. The rhyme scheme of I SPY has four
main beats to a line, and so does rap. Now I tell kids, "If you have the
rhythm of rap in your head, you'll be able to write great I SPY rhymes
for your own I SPY pictures. I found Ms. K on You Tube; she's terrific!
