Rock Music and Social Change in Western Society

for this assignment there are two separated parts, first one is seven journal entries with few sentences for each journal entry (one page),
the second one is the essay (four pages),

*this is the paper details:
For our last unit we will be examining the role “rock and roll” music played in brining about social change in America during the 1960s and the ensuing decades. The unit will combine elements of history and music. As an instructor, my goal is for this unit to be student centered as much as possible. We will be doing hands on activities in class, listening to music, writing about music, and familiarizing ourselves with the history.

There will be two major components of the unit for each student to complete: a journal and a final essay. Active class participation will also be considered.

I – Journal: I would like each student to write at least seven journal entries about the music we’ll be covering in class. I’d like you to date each entry. They can be written or typed. You are encouraged to free write about your response to the music and why you prefer some to others. There’s no length requirement, but please write more than a few sentences! Go any direction you want. (40 Points)

II – For your final essay (60 Points)

Interview someone who lived through the 1960s and 1970s. Ask them about how they felt about the historical events (Vietnam, Civil Rights, etc . . .) and the role music played in their lives. How does your subject feel about the 1960s/70s? Come up with your own questions. Write a profile of your subject based on your interview.
