Reviewer Comments:

This resource is an excellent mini-unit on jazz. There are a series of lessons that include objectives, activities, graphic organizers, and music suggestions. All of the activities help students gain a better understanding of the origins of jazz, different types of jazz, and links to current music. The materials could be used as a stand alone unit or could be integrated into a variety of courses such as a US History class or a History of Music class. It should be noted that there some classroom specific references that would need to be changed in order to use the unit in another classroom.

Not Rated Yet.
