7th Grade:
The 7th grade students will begin a cross-curricular web quest project called Birth of America: History Through Song. Student groups will be researching a particular song, and with that song they are tasked with determining what time period in American History it came from and more specifically, what historical event is taking place. Students were able to choose from seven different songs that encompassed historical events such as the American Revolution, World War Two, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Movement. Using a list of questions to aid in their research, the students will become musical historians to figure out what was going on historically and musically at that point in America.
