Record Revival

Welcome to Mr. Burton's Raider Time, Record Revival !  In Record Revival, we will explore different music by looking at artists' full album artworks, specifically using the medium of vinyl records.  The 'we' in discussion are 14-18 year old high school students from Sheboygan, WI.  Students will be given a brief explanation of the artist and/or album being presented before listening.  As they leave the classroom, the album may or not be finished.  At the end of the listen through, students will rate the album on a scale of 1 to 10 and give commentary on what they thought of the album.  These ratings and comments will be shared here.  Please select any of the links below or use the side bar to the left to see what teens think about a range of music.
