This is a content-rich lesson that engages students as they develop an understanding of American music and cultural history. I have taught this course in person in a middle school setting and the online version of this course has been utilized by teachers and high school students in several public charter schools in California and homeschoolers. Students love this course!

Lesson 8 is built around the British Invasion playlist - one hour of music - which is the cornerstone of the lesson. {www.musichistoryhall.org/playlists}

I recommend downloading the FREE resources in our Music History Hall store - Course Outline, Instructional Strategies, and Learning Objectives: The Roots.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me via TPT or at patti@musichistoryhall.org.

I hope you enjoy teaching your students about the history of American music and exploring the influence American roots music had on the British Invasion.

Cheers!
