Learning about negros songs and spirituals using a podcast.
The teacher tells the children about the birth of spirituals in English first and later in ItalianDuring XVII and XVIII when Negroes were taken to America as slaves from African beyond the Atlantic Ocean, they worked in the cotton plantations of South America and music helped them bear their hard life. They sang plantation songs that became work songs and calls that helped communication between workers. While working in the plantation of the Missisipi, the Negro slaves used to sing in order to keep in rhythm with their monotonous manual work.Later when Negroes converted to Christianity, Negroes started to sing religious songs called SPIRITUALS that recalled English hymns
SPIRITUALS were CHORAL SONGSThey were songs sung together by all workers
Teacher checks global comprehension and uses Italian in case of difficulties

From Spirituals to Blues ACTIVITY VI - Learning about blues
Blues emerged at the end of the 19th century.
It was a form of self-expression in African-American communities of the United States from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads.
