Music+Teaching+Project+11-12



Since 1945, the importance and ubiquity of media in the United States grew exponentially. Music is no exception. In many ways, music reflected society and in others, society reflected music. There is much to learn about the people, events, politics, and social issues of the last half of the twentieth century by studying its music. During the remainder of this school year, KIS US History classes will go on a musical journey by exploring history through... its music!

Listed below is the schedule for each class. Feel free to use the link provided to upload any documents, lyrics, links to videos, etc., that would be helpful in teaching the class about your song and era. Enjoy!
