 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit students will be learning all about the groovy 1960s! The Vietnam War, Civil Rights movement, Woodstock, other popular culture events, and the “counter culture” will be main areas of learning during this unit. Through reading, watching videos, listening to music, discussion, and other assignments, students will understand that the 1960s were a time of social and political protest, which led to the creation of numerous organizations and groups, including the “counter culture.” They will also understand that the Vietnam War was widely unpopular, leading to conflict among Americans, and lastly, that the 1960s may have seem to be characterized by tension and tragic events, but it was also a period of American history that led to great social, political, and cultural change. ||
