The decades

In most classes we have taught the 20s, 40s, and 50s. I have enjoyed the creativity and look forward to see what the rest of the groups come up with. Although, I haven't heard any music from the time periods and only a few groups have brought in movie clips. (HINT HINT)

Some of the classes have taught the 60s. We will continue teaching the decades tomorrow. Don't forget there is a homework assignment with each decade. Make sure you are completing them and turning them in.
