History of Rock n Roll Lesson 1/7/15

  1. Please watch clips of Vietnam War protests from 1969, which are taken from unedited, behind-the-scenes footage. 
    • Write a short description of what appears to be going on in each segment of the video 
    • note when and how music is used by the protestors.
  2. While the nature and visibility of protests changed, antiwar sentiment itself was not new in the 1960s. 
    1. listen to recordings of two popular songs from the World War I era, “Over There” (1917) and “I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier” (1915). Then, answer the questions below. 
      1. How do the two songs present contrasting views toward the war? 
      2. Which is more like the Saturday Evening Post cover in the motivational activity? 
      3. Which has more in common with the protest songs of the 1960s?
