To rap or not to rap? ... That is the question.

Overall, I think that this singing assignment did help me understand and improve my knowledge of photosynthesis.  It helped me go over how it works and a little about both the Calvin Cycle and the Light Reaction.  Because I had to keep singing my song over and over again, a lot of the things got imprinted in my head and so I thought the song was a good way to learn about photosynthesis.  Just taking time to write the lyrics helped me learn more!

Some of the advantages of this project were the learning experience and improving our skills on the computer (Garageband, etc.).  The drawback was that it was kind of an embarrassing assignment because I am a terrible singer, and would rather not have people listening to me sing.

Personally, I don't think that doing a lab would have helped me learn about photosynthesis any better because by singing and writing the lyrics I could get the steps planted in my brain.  Although, doing a lab isn't a bad idea either.  I just think doing the song would give everybody a more well-rounded experience as to learning all the steps of Photosynthesis.
