Lesson Plan: PUNK AS REACTION

ESSENTIAL QUESTION How was Punk Rock a reaction both to the commercialization of Rock and Roll and to the social climate in late 1970s Britain? In this lesson, students will compare and contrast some of the musical and visual elements of Stadium Rock with those of Punk Rock. They will investigate how Punk grew out of the particular musical and social context of Britain in the 1970s. They will then put their knowledge to work in small groups by creating album covers for a fictitious 1970s Punk Rock band. From: TeachRock.org
