The second video is the first in a series of 5 videos, The Story of U2. The other 4 parts can easily be accessed from the YouTube link.
This week students will undertake an exploration of Irish rock music – using these videos as a jumping off point to discover answers to questions they frame individually and with peers, and as a portal to extend and enrich their beginning knowledge of the rich history of Irish rock music and its amazing musicians.
They will investigate/explore things that personally resonate after having viewed these videos and undertaken personal cybersleuthing activities. They will compile and organize, as they proceed, a categorized list of ideas, questions, sources and links. They'll be able to cull from this list, many ideas and sources for their formative blog postings and their summative VoiceThread work. And, they will contemplate the ways in which they are engaged by the things they are learning about Irish rock music – from its beginning up to the present day.
