How do you teach the Beatles, to your AP European History students, in a unit about cultural and social history, when they were born nearly forty years after the four arrived in New York?

(Oh, and they didn’t horrify ALL parents. My Mom loved ’em. Especially Ringo, who reminded her of a Basset Hound, which explains my dear four-legged friends, Wilson and Walter.)

I tried to teach them this way.

The entire lesson was about 1968, which reminds me, with some hope, that we’ve survived tough, tough times before.
