Our most vulnerable in society has always been our children. Child health data from the Center For Disease Control has shown that American children are at risk in a number of areas such as childhood obesity, abuse and neglect, infant mortality, gun violence, juvenile delinquency and recently, rates in low educational performance has become a national crisis. Health care specialists indicate that most of these areas can be lowered through using consistent intervention steps in education. This workbook, Lyrical Education: Students Who Use Spoken Lyrics with an Academic Mission, providing for grades 4-6, is a practical application of Workbook 1, offering teachers an incredible writing engagement lesson for students that deal directly with topics of immense importance at the elementary level. This Workbook was composed with a select group of 5th grade students from McCulloch Academy of Jackson, Michigan whose writings appear in this book as part of the Topic lessons. poems are organized around the key topics that affect todays youth, namely Child Abuse, Child Obesity, Bullying, Drugs and Gun/Gang violence. These five topics are prefaced with Fact Sheets with statistics about each, highlighting how critical these problems are in the lives of our students today. Vocabulary Builders follow each Fact Sheet for discussion and then Students poems are presented, each speaking directly to not only their peers but importantly to Adults: their teachers and parents as well a those perpetrators of such social ills.
