OPTION 2: Global History Playlist
Task:
Historians can use songs to study different eras in history. Songs can be used to help us learn what concerned people, how
different groups viewed different issues of the time, and how different people expressed their ideas and values. Songs can
encapsulate the themes and characteristics of a people and/or era.
Select an era, historical figure, civilization or event (e.g. Middle Ages, Renaissance, Asoka, Shi Huangdi, Silk Road, Black Death,
Mongols, golden ages) and create a playlist of four songs that provide insight into the characteristics/themes of the eras, figures,
events and/or civilizations. Or select four eras, figures, civilizations and/or events and select one song for each. Consider the issues
surrounding that event, figure, or civilization (e.g. desire for power, inequality, struggle, conflict, cultural exchange). How are the
songs a reflection of the historical themes? What can listeners of the song learn about the era, event, or figure?
Requirements

For each song on your playlist:
o
Provide the basics of the song (Title, performer, and date the song was released).

o
