Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum : Ball of Confusion: Rock Music and Social Change in the 60s and 70s

Description
The history of rock and roll overlaps with some of the most turbulent times in U.S. history. In the 1960s and 1970s in particular, American society faced challenges stemming from the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights movement, and the Women’s Liberation movement. During this time many people felt that the world was a “Ball of Confusion,” as described in lyrics of the popular Temptations’ song. This class features songs from the 1960s and 1970s and helps students identify ways that popular musicians have used messages of revolution, protest, and empowerment to question society and effect change. Supplemental media includes recordings and videos of Hall of Fame Inductees.

Preparation
Each class includes:
Online access to pre- and post- connection packets with lesson outlines, supporting materials, and classroom activities.
A pre connection test call.
An hour-long interactive videoconferencing class.
