In this unit, we will be learning about the history of American music. I will be guiding the class through the Blues into Rock 'n' Roll and Hip Hop so we will be working from the past to the present.

You will be working in the opposite direction, starting with an artist of today whose music you admire.

Today's assignment is meant to introduce you to the project and to help you get a sense of what information you will be looking for in your research.

Here is the website for the project.
