HoA II-Spring 2020 Plague Work Week of 5/4-5/8

Complete the following this week:

1. If you are also in IB Film: ignore all of this work until your Comparative Study is done. That is your priority. You can make all of this up next week with no penalty.

2. Did you complete all the work from the previous weeks? If not, do that first. If you submit anything that already has a grade in SIS, you must email Mr. Chambers to let him know that it has been submitted.

3. Since we’re ending the course in online quarantine learning, there’s no way to cover everything that we would have learned in class. Because of that fact, I’m going to give you three options for your final week’s work. Choose whichever one option interests you most:

Option 1: Political history

To fill in the rest of the political history of the United States in the 1990s and early 2000s, read p. 997-1010 in the textbook. Then, answer the following prompt in one or more paragraphs and upload it to TurnItIn: In what ways did America change during the 1990s and early 2000s and how do you see that reflected in current events of the year 2020?

Option 2: African-American music in the late twentieth century

Watch and listen to the selection of songs below and then answer the following prompt in one or more paragraphs and upload it to TurnItIn:

What changes can you see from the 1970s to the 1980s to the 1990s through these songs and how do they reflect their time periods? Why would these songs and videos have been made when they were and why would they have found an audience? What song from the 2000s or 2010s would reflect the 21st century era?
