The sixties ushered in a new wave of problems. We experienced crisis with Russia and Cuba, as well as, a war with Vietnam. We witnessed the assassination of J.F.K., the presidency of Lyndon Johnson being overshadowed by a war, civil rights movements, and a new social culture. This decade brought more changes then anyone thought ten years could or should bring. As we discussed in class, it was a decade full of tragedies. It was also a decade full of new music. The Beatles brought a new sound to America from Britain, which many thought made the decade musically rich. Much of the music from the sixties encouraged immorality and the use of mind-altering drugs. The lyrics speak for themselves. Next week we will discover the seventies!
With the school year quickly winding down, it is time to get serious about the end of the year project. We only have 4 more classes before the projects are presented! The fifth class is the presentation of the final project, so it really is coming quickly! We will also celebrate with a party on that last class (May 15th).
Here are a few ideas for your projects:
These are fairly elaborate, but it gives you an idea of what you can create. I love creativity, so feel free to be as creative as you want. Your project does not need to be as tall as these, but it should be on a trifold board.
Here is what you need to include:
1. map of where the event took place
2. keep people involved in your event
3. historical facts (dates, locations, causes, etc...)
4. The effect it had on the nation
5. culture during the time
6. the importance of the event
7. any other interesting facts that help describe or explain the event
8. Color, details, organized
Homework:
1. read Unit 27
2. choose a unit project to complete
3. bible assignments if you are doing bible credit
4. work on timeline
5. work on collection info for project
Have a great week!!!
