THEIR MUSIC TELLS THE STORY - CLASS READING
Social Studies is the study of "social" - the study of people - their affect on the world and the world's affect on people. There is one sure fire way to understand history. It is through the music of the time in which you are studying. Music is a culture's way of expressing their thoughts and feeling about what is going on around them. Though history, many musicians have expressed their opinions about the issues and events in the period in which they lived. In this class, you will learn how each time period in American History from the Industrial Age to today expressed their thoughts and feelings about what was happening in their era.
Music is a part of history known as popular culture. Many of you know this as "pop culture".
WHAT IS IT?Pop culture is entertainment, music and sports.
