Labor Movement: Concert debrief & blog setup

1. Review unit descriptor (questions?)
2. Set up blogs:

  • 1. Go to blogger using this link > BLOGGER
  • Sign in using your Baxter Academy google account (if you have yet to join google+, please do so when prompted)
  • Click the "Create Blog" button (upper left corner I believe)
  • A pop-up window will appear. Complete the following three steps in the pop-up window:
    • Step 1: name your blog using the following format - "[your name]'s Humanities Blog"
    • Step 2: enter your blog's address using the following format - "BAhumanities10-[firstnamelastname]" - if you have any spaces in the address, or if it's too long, blogger will tell you that the address is already taken - just take a few letters off your last name and it should work; 
    • Step 3: select the "simple" template and click the "create blog" button at the bottom of the pop-up window.
  • Congrats! You now have a blog! However, you still have one more VERY IMPORTANT step - click "view blog" at the top of the page (this will take you to your actual blog page); next, copy your url and email it to me with the following subject line: "blog url Hum 10B/10C/10D"
  • Ok now you're really done...except that now you need to publish your first blog entry...

3. Debrief of concert & review of The Preacher & The Slave
4. Please write and publish your first blog post using the prompt below:

Based on your experience at Friday's concert and your interpretation and analysis of the song, "The Preacher and The Slave," please reflect on and answer the following questions:

What is/was the role of music in the labor movement? How does Joe Hill's song, "The Preacher and the Slave" illustrate that role? Use evidence from the lyrics of the song, as well as your own experiences at Friday's concert, to answer these questions. There is no length requirement, but you will be assessed based on THIS WRITING RUBRIC.
