There were more opportunities for student voice and choice during the Hip Hop Literacy video. It made learning a more collaborative and providing a more authentic learning experience. Students are the "key agents" in the autonomous model.

The Hip Hop literacies gave opportunities for students to be producers, rather than just consumers.

It is important to bring culture into the classroom when teaching literacy, as this can be used as a form of self-expression and self identity.

A lot of the literacy programed are white-coded and do not represent multiple identities and backgrounds. The hip-hop literacy was a great way to break cultural norms when it comes to literacy and represent the students in the classroom.

We discussed the social aspects of both Nana & Drew and the Hip Hop Literacy videos. Even though Nana & Drew is more focused on the autonomous model, there were lots of social aspects, such as the relationship between the two of them. This approach was engaging for Drew, but we were exploring how middle-grade students would respond differently.
