Jazz History Pages
Grades
4 to 12tag(s): jazz (16)
In the Classroom
The most usable portion of this site is actually the interactive picture seen on the main page. Rarely are teachers going to need to go in on an in-depth exploration of Jazz, but the main page picture can be used in a visual discovery activity. Open the image on the interactive whiteboard or projector, and have students discuss what they observe, infer and predict about the image. There is a zoom tool that can provide greater detail. Guide the students towards why this image is significant, why someone would take it, how important Jazz was in this community, etc.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
