Media & Society Class Celebrates Black History Month
One of the Media & Society classes used the month of February to do their part to celebrate Black History Month. They have been learning about African American music, poetry, literature, and the Civil Rights Movement. Below are the four girls, Kiersten, Caleigh, Ashley, and Lexie, that make up this class giving their presentations on African American music. They chose a genre they wanted to research, and gave the history of the music genre, and how it was influenced by African Americans. They also chose one performer of their specific type of music who played a large role in making that genre what it is today. Kiersten gave her presentation on Reggae music, featuring Bob Marley. Caleigh gave her presentation on Gospel music featuring Whitney Houston. Ashley gave her presentation on Rock & Roll music, featuring Little Richard. Lexie gave her presentation on Rap/Hip Hop featuring Snoop Dogg.
