A Bit of Music....
I know that I probably had waaaayyyy more fun teaching about the 1980s and 1990s than you did learning about it - (although there were a few of you that were definitely trying not to burst out into dance during my lesson) - here are the videos to some of the songs that I shared in class! Enjoy them during your Christmas break while you work on your assignment :).
Interestingly, the Backstreet Boys are the first on this list :-)....They beat "New Direction" any day :P
BSB
NSYNC
Nirvana
Whitney Houston
Michael Jackson
Beastie Boys
Cyndy Lauper
New Kids on the Block
Queen
Bon Jovi
