pfotzwiki22 - Use this wiki to analyze and reflect about what you are learning about the 60s & 70s.
Step 1:
Take the survey above to see what you know about this time period. Then brainstorm using a semantic map on the effects of war on a country. You can use the prior knowledge gained from reading and discussing Fallen Angels as a place to begin.
Step 2:
In your groups, research music and evaluate the lyrics for those artists who had a message to get across. Think about what the artists hoped to accomplish by using music as a vehicle to both identity the views on war and how music would heal the emotional trauma caused by war.
Step 3:
Formulate a theory about how music is used during turbulent times as a voice of the people. Does the music provide inspiration and/or just entertainment?
Step 4:
Develop a database to keep your information organized. Compare, contrast, and analyze the themes, tone, and message of the music. Now you should be gathering a list of artists who reflect the political and emotional concerns of the era.
Step 5:
Compile at least 10 songs and make a lyrics book of the songs you select.
Step 6:
Design a lyrics book cover that is appropriate to the music you select.
Step 7:
In your groups, prepare a multimedia presentation that you will showcase your work and discoveries to the class.
