Introduction

The sixties were the age of youth, as70 million children from the post-war baby boom became teenagers and young adults. The movement away from the conservative fifties continued and eventually resulted in revolutionary ways of thinking and real change in American life. No longer content to be images of the generation ahead of them, young young people wanted changepeople wanted change. The changes affected education, values, lifestyles, laws, and entertainment. Many of the revolutionary ideas which began in the sixties are continuing to evolve today.

Television

Television offered the second prime time cartoon show, the Flintstones , in 1960. (The first was Rocky and his Friends in 1959.) It appealed to both children and adults and set off a trend that included Alvin & the Chipmunks , the Jetsons , and Mr. Magoo. The Andy Griffith Show was the number 1 prime time family television, and ran for most of the decade. The Beverly Hillbillies was also popular. The supernatural and science fiction blended in many of the popular shows, including Bewitched, The Addams Family, My Favorite Martian , I Dream of Jeannie, Star Trek, the Outer Limits , and the Twilight Zone. In the late 60's, humor was revived in a show called Rowan and Martin's Laugh In, where many regular performers and guests became part of a show biz classic.

Historical Events

The Civil Rights movement made great changes in society in the 1960's. The movement began peacefully, with Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael leading sit-ins and peaceful protests, joined by whites and Jews. When Fidel Castro, soon after overtaking Cuba, declared that he was a communist, the United States broke off diplomatic relations. Castro seized American property. The CIA attacked Cuba in an ill-fated mission at the Bay of Pigs. In 1962, a spy plane identified long range missiles in Cuba. President John F. Kennedy readied troops to invade Cuba, and the Soviet Union prepared to fire at US cities if we made a move.

Historical Events-continued

John F. Kennedy was young, and his brief reign as president was often called Camelot. He was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963. His Vice President, Lyndon B. Johnson became president, and was reelected the following year. To prevent communist North Vietnam from overtaking South Vietnam, the United States sent military advisors and then soldiers. It was largely a secret war until 1965. In 1963, John Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, in Apollo XI, were the first men to walk on the moon in 1969. The surgeon general determined that smoking was a health hazard, and in 1965 required cigarette manufacturers to place warnings on all packages and in all ads. The first clone of a vertebrate, a South African tree frog, was produced in 1967. Dr. Denton Cooley implanted the first artificial heart in a human, and it kept the patient alive for three days until a human heart could be transplanted.

Pictures from DC

Music

1960, Elvis returned to the music scene from the US Army, joining the other white male vocalists at the top of the charts; Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, Jerry Lee Lewis, Paul Anka, Del Shannon and Frankie Avalon. America, however, was ready for a change. The Tamla Motown Record Company came on the scene, specializing in black rhythm and blues, aided in the emergence of female groups such as Gladys Knight and the Pips, Martha and the Vandellas, the Supremes, and Aretha Franklin, as well as some black men, including Smoky Robinson, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and the Temptations. Bob Dylan helped bring about a folk music revival, along with Joan Baez and Peter, Paul & Mary. The Beach Boys began recording music that appealed to high schoolers. The Beatles, from England, burst into popularity with innovative rock music that appealed to all ages. The Righteous Brothers were a popular white duo who used African American styling to create a distinctive sound.

Styles

The 1960's began with crew cuts on men and bouffant hairstyles on women. Men's casual shirts were often plaid and buttoned down the front, while knee-length dresses were required wear for women in most public places. By mid-decade, miniskirts or hot pants, often worn with go-go boots, were revealing legs, bodywear was revealing curves, and women's hair was either very short or long and lanky. Men's hair became longer and wider, with beards and mustaches. Men's wear had a renaissance. Bright colors, double-breasted sports jackets, polyester pants suits with Nehru jackets, and turtlenecks were in vogue. By the end of the decade, ties, when worn, were up to 5" wide, patterned even when worn with stripes. Women wore peasant skirts or granny dresses and chunky shoes. Unisex dressing was popular, featuring bell bottomed jeans, love beads, and embellished t-shirts. Clothing was as likely to be purchased at surplus stores as boutiques. Blacks of both genders wore their hair in an afro.

Day 5-Monday

Warm-UP (in your packet)

Write a paragraph about your favorite character from The Outsiders. Be sure to include DRAPES and 3 criteria.

Example

“He looked like a Greek god laying there. How could he stand to be so handsome?” thought Ponyboy. Even though there are many interesting characters in the novel, The Outsiders, Ponyboy Curtis is my favorite because the reader is allowed to hear his deepest thoughts and feelings. Most people would agree this makes a character easier to understand. Additionally, Ponyboy and I are similar. We are about the same age and both love to read. Moreover, Ponyboy is the main character. The story is told from his point of view.

As Pony, short for Ponyboy, tells the story he reveals his thoughts throughout the novel.

Interpretation of the PoemWhat does the Poem mean to you?

“Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost

Nothing Gold Can Stay By Robert Frost

Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

The Outsiders

Monday 3-20

Warm-Up

1. Write an advantageadvantage paragraph:Problem: Not enough AR books in the library

Solution: Book donation drive (works like a fundraiser but people give or buy books)

Advantage: use a sentence starter and good details (DRAPES).

2. Write a conclusionconclusion paragraph

Advantage

I firmly believe my solution will benefit many people. Students will be benefited by having more books. Just the other day, I heard a student say that he would read if we had more interesting books. Additionally, teachers will be benefited by students reading more. Most teachers would love to see kids read because EOG scores will increase. Also the library and school will not have to spend money for books. Wouldn’t the school like to use funds for something other than library books? Moreover, parents would not have to fuss about AR books and zeros on their child’s grade report. My mom got really mad when I had zero’s for my AR book.
