My students are working on a black history presentation and we are learning about the history of this song and learning to sing and play the rhythm! This music includes easy to follow music and they have enjoyed it so much!
This is a wonderful resource, and is extremely well-organized. I love the progression, and the way that music score aligned with the boomwhacker colors.

Description
Singing and playing this American Civil Rights song by Pete Seger allows students the opportunity to connect to "We Shall Overcome" in a meaningful way. These largely editable Google Slides offer students a change to sing the lyrics, read the sheet music, and play a variety of musical instruments including Orff/ xylophone/metallophone, Boomwhackers, woodblock and hand drum.
This would be a great song at any point in the year, but is especially fantastic for MLK Day in January and Black History Month in February.
