Wilbanks, Rachel

Read book as a class and reflect over and discuss the book.

Students will be developing a CD with a compilation of jazz songs that best exemplifies the Jazz Era (1920s-1930s). They will create a CD cover, an insert with each song title, its lyrics, and justification for why the song was included in the album.

Have students recognize cause and effect by reflecting on how a person's history/culture impacts his/her development and the decisions they make.
