🎶📚 Terra Nova High school students recently wrapped up a powerful history seminar studying the Vietnam Era, Civil Rights Movements, and other social movements of the 1960s and 70s through the lens of the music of the times. They discussed songs with a message from multiple artists including Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, and Joni Mitchell among others. Music was an effective vehicle for students to engage in conversations about justice, activism, and how the past still echos through today's world. A special shoutout to Al Neff, a radio personality from WXYG the Goat, located in Sauk Rapids. Al was an incredible resource in designing this project. He invited students to tour the radio station, provided guidance in designing our class, and stopped by Terra Nova to reflect on the seminar. He was impressed by the students' social and music literacy. #Album Rock WXYG #TheGOAT #OutoftheClassroomIntotheWorld
