@teachrockorg can help bring National Italian Heritage Month to life in your classroom with our Lesson of the Week, “The Groundbreakers--Italian-American Vocalists Before Rock and Roll.” Students will consider how singers such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, and others reflected the experiences of the immigrant communities from which they came. #rockandrollforeverfoundation #teachrockorg #lessonoftheweek #russcolumbo #tonybennett #enricocaruso #franksinatra #perrycomo #deanmartin #nationalitalianheritagemonth

October is National Italian Heritage Month. @teachrockorg Lesson of the Week, “The Groundbreakers – Italian-American vocalists before Rock and Roll,” asks, "How did the careers of Italian American vocalists in the first half of the 20th century reflect the experiences of Italian American immigrants and attitudes toward them in the wider American culture?" http://bit.ly/2xajXZD From the lesson and considering the attached photo, why might immigrant groups have commonly settled together in communities such as “Little Italy” in New York? Feel free to share your thoughts on that question in the Comments section below. #rockandrollforeverfoundation #teachrockorg #lessonoftheweek #russcolumbo #tonybennett #enricocaruso #franksinatra #perrycomo #deanmartin #nationalitalianheritagemonth (at Little Italy, Manhattan)
