tomorrow in my Music Fundamentals for Elementary Teachers class i am presenting a short lesson. I'm planning a cross-curricular lesson using music to talk about women's roles during WWII. I'm looking for interesting songs that would appeal to 5th graders, so anything novel is GOOD. so far i'm planning on using "Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet" by Ella Mae Morse, which is sung from the perspective of a riveter. i might use "Corns for my Country" by the Andrews Sisters, which is about the USO. any other suggestions? anything about women in the military would be good! nothing too obscure - i need to be able to find it online (unless you want to get on AIM and share it with me, of course!) the things my discussion questions will be things like, what instruments the students can hear, what is the topic of the song, what makes it unique, that sort of thing.
(and yes, of course i'll be dressing up in my rosie coveralls for my presentation )
thanks in advance!!
