The B-52's Lesson Plan and 'Zine

The B-52's are a New Wave party band from Georgia. There was a brother and sister, plus their two friends who loved playing music and dressing up for house parties. They started and became popular in the 1980s, but would dress up like they were from the 1960s (20 years before). The name of the band comes from a beehive-style hairdo!

In this lesson, students hear the story and create a mini 'zine featuring the members of the band with their wild hair and outfits.
