Call and Response Singing

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students investigate call and response singing.  For this fine arts and U.S. history lesson, students listen to several call and response songs that were sung by African-American slaves during the period before the Civil War.  Students brainstorm possible reasons that call and response music was appropriate for slaves working in the fields. Students complete a related worksheet.
