What do like to groove to? Bebop or hip-hop? In this Black History Month lesson plan, students will listen to and learn about two music genres heavily influenced by African-Americans. Then they will write about which genre they prefer.

Students love to explore instruments! Add some method to the madness by having students count, add, and subtract when working together to make music.

This lesson will make solving subtraction word problems fun for students. It includes music and interaction to grab your students' attention.
