The history teacher of the Lyceum NIU HSE Vasily Kuznetsov read the entire lesson to students of rap about the period from the 15th century to the beginning of the Time of Troubles. Lyceumists posted the video from the lesson on the Utube.
As Kuznetsov told the publication “chalk”, the idea of conducting a rap elegance appeared during preparation for the conference “The city of three revolutions: for the centenary of Russian revolutions of the 20th century” in St. Petersburg. According to the historian, the students discussed the creative task on history and asked the teacher to transfer the deadlines. To motivate students, Kuznetsov offered them a bet.
“They had to do that they were not very familiar: to compare historical colleagues-colleagues (ours and European) or write about two contemporaries. For my part, I undertake to read rap if the news on my page gains 1000 likes. At 10 am on January 26, this condition was met, ”the teacher explained.
“Most of the lecture is a freestyle, and not in chronological order, but rather figurative,” Kuznetsov said. For only six hours, Kuznetsov was preparing for the rap and domestic policy of the Moscow state from Ivan the Great to the beginning of Troubles.
