Culminating paper - 2 lessons

The students will individually pick a period of time and write a paper describing how the music of the African-American community reflected the zeitgeist of the times, and its influence on culture, if any. They will be given 2 lessons in class to work on this paper. Since they have been creating the word wall and their journals, this should be an easy assignment.

Assessment will be based on a rubric and reflect their understanding of the interaction between music and culture.
