Class Work


A. This was the homework:
Watch the news. Find an event that is current as of the last five years that relates to human rights. Bring the article to class or have the URL handy so that you can quickly locate it. Be prepared to discuss how the current issue is similar to or different from the events portrayed In the Time of the Butterflies.


At your table, take up to two minutes each to discuss the current event.


B. Continue watching the movie. Let the questions guide your viewing.


C. Join a group!

1. Revolutionary War
2. Civil War
3. World War I
4. World War II
5. Korean War
6. Vietnam War
7. Iraq/Afghanistan

For homework, look for and listen to war songs or songs associated with your group's era. Bring what you consider to be the top three tunes to share with your group. In addition, complete B and C for ONE song and post what you find in CANVAS by Tuesday.


These are the questions your group will need to answer for the class.


Personally, you need to list three songs of the era in CANVAS and complete B and C for one of the songs.

 A. Listen to at least three songs from your era.
B. Locate the lyrics
C. Tell how the lyrics relate to the war and the era. (If you don't know about the war or the era, do a bit of quick research.
D. Prepare to share one song with the class. Share how the lyrics relate to the war and the era. Consider:
 1. Why the song was popular
2. How it was representative of the war
3. Why it fit the time period. (What was going on in the world aside from the war?)
4. Explain why the song would or would not be popular today.
