DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this capstone project was to design an 18-week History of Rock n' Roll course for the high school level (9th-12th grade). This course includes unit and lesson plans designed to fully engage the students in learning about the history of vernacular music. The course was designed to align with the NAfME standards as well as the Massachusetts State Arts Frameworks. This document serves as a template for teaching the course using current teaching philosophies and will implement modern technological tools. The course content covers field hollers/work songs, delta blues, early rock n' roll and progresses to contemporary music, encompassing many different genres associated with what we call “rock n' roll”.
