2. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Jazz; the only original American art form. Without it Rock and Roll would have never happened and Pop music today would sound completely different. It laid the groundwork for much of the music we listen to and its performers inspired many of the current musical minds. It’s time to take a little trip down memory lane and pay a little homage to JAZZ! Picture by Larry Ferrante

9. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Evaluation Conclusion This lesson was designed to fulfill portions of my Teacher Licensure curriculum at Colorado State University. This lesson is all about giving a brief overview of the history of Jazz. Although there are other eras within the history of Jazz, I opted to focus on these in an attempt to keep the project manageable while maintaining a logical arc to the current state of Jazz.

10. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Evaluation Conclusion This project can be implemented for just about any age group, but as I was writing it I definitely was gearing the dialogue towards a high school level student. This project also does not require any knowledge prior to beginning it.

13. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Evaluation Conclusion This lesson should only need one teacher to implement. Obviously there will also need to be a period of computer lab time. As far as the presentations themselves, the teacher may wish to provide poster board and drawing utensils for the students who wish to use them.
