What educators are saying

My teens and I had so much fun utilizing this with our US History research project. Not only was it useful, but highly interesting for not only the students, but us teachers and parents as well. Thank you for sharing such a valuable resource.

With Fall Out Boy just coming out with a newer version of this song, having this version with activities made my students really interested in the song as well as the history the song tells.

Description

***GOOGLE COMPATIBLE***

1) Drag and Drop the Word Doc or PowerPoint into Google Drive

2) Then Go to "FILE", and SAVE AS "GOOGLE SLIDES" or "GOOGLE DOCS"

This download includes both the 29-slide PowerPoint AND the two-page handout in PDF and MS WORD format.

The thoughtful PowerPoint gives background, complete lyrics, higher-order thinking questions, links to the song and music video, and a multifaceted analysis of the song. Each of the 121 historical references are briefly explained as well.

The handout provides the lyrics and brief explanations of each historical reference, as well as a series of thought-provoking questions.

This activity was designed for 10th grade World History students or 11th grade U.S. History students and could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Enjoy!
