A Scavenger Hunt compiled by Warren School |
| The sixties were a time of unprecedented social unrest in the United States, and the youth of the time were not hesitant to express their opinions. We had signs and demonstrations for everything, from women's lib to civil rights, environmental issues, and of course the biggie was the Vietnam war. It was an exciting time in history, and the music awakened a lot of people to what was happening in the world . Journey through the times as you find the answers and listen to the songs on this Scavenger Hunt. Print off a copy of the questions for you to follow and write down your answers. Good luck, and have fun! |
