Happy New Year, students, and welcome back to school!
From the futuristic, dystopian life in Panem in The Hunger Games, we are headed back to the simple life of the sixties for The Outsiders. In preparation for the reading of this great story, I would like to know what you know, or would like to know about the sixties.
While this story focuses on the mid-sixties, 1964-67, the sixties as a whole was a decade that brought about the most change our world has ever come to know.
When I think of the sixties, I think of the Beatles and the British invasion that followed which changed the course of music forever.
This concert was at Shea Stadium, New York 1965. Can you imagine singing to that crowd? They wore no earphones piping in the music, that technology wasn’t around yet.
And oh, just so you know, I was sitting on the roof of my aunt’s house with some friends listening to the concert. It was the best seat in the house. 🙂
What do you know about the sixties or want to know more about?
