Vietnam Protests

Choose a song (every pair will have a different song)
See this website for songs. Each song has a Youtube link that can be use for your presentation
http://peacehistory-usfp.org/protest-music-vietnam-war/. Don’t simply choose the first song you come across, listen to a few and do some preliminary research.

You will present the following:

• The background of the song (what is the context of the song? Who is the songwriter? Why did he/she write the song? Was there any specific event that caused them to write the song?)
• Analysis of the lyrics (what is the meaning of the words/phrases? What is/are the message(s) of the song?)
• What is most effective about this song? (words, phrases, music)
• A Google Slide presentation with effective images (at least 7-10 images); add the song to the presentation. Play this slide show during the presentation.
• Once you create your presentation, you can add images
• Go to Image Quest (SHS Library)
• Use key words such as “Vietnam War”, “Vietam Protest” to search
• Choose images and download them to your Google Drive
• The citation is under the image and can be copy and pasted into your Works Cited page (can be a document or a slide)
• You can also access images from Wikimedia Commons and Creative Commons
• Be creative: use animation techniques that will enhance the presentation
• When you have completed the presentation, publish it to the Web (under the File tab) so that you can have the slide show present automatically (you can choose how many seconds between images).
• Use the links to Youtube(website above) to play the song in the background.
