With 78 interdisciplinary topics, from the Salem Witch Trials to the Bill of Rights, teachers will find music connections that are sure to engage students. Consider using the music of Jimmy Hendrix to illustrate the ways in which poetic devices such as personification can enhance the meaning of a poem. Protest songs from the 1960s help bring the civil rights movement to life for young listeners. If you didn't think rock and roll had a place in the classroom, this site will convince you otherwise.
