Give your their definition of “Hippies.” look-up “Hippies” on the internet. Find information on clothes, music, culture and politics. In groups of three have the students view clips # 4, 5, and 9, and take notes on a “T-chart” comparing the views of the hippies with those of the authority. Students need to define “Anarchy” and “Communism.” and be able to give clear examples of each by proviing exaples of "anarchy," and "communism." students are to listen to clips #11, 12 and 13, while formating response to the following questions: 1. What were the results of the hippies’ experiments with alternative lifestyles? 2. Why did the experiments in anarchy and communism eventually fail?  3. What could have made the experiments more successful?  4. What are your opinions of anarchy and communism as systems of social organization? ** Assessment: ** The hippies are now in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Students can write a three-page opinion paper about how they think the hippies’ experimentation with alternative lifestyles affected the rest of their lives, if at all. Additionally, Students can role-play a confrontation between a small group of hippies and an authority figure. Remind them to show respect for the views of both groups and to share their arguments respectfully. [|Hippie T-Chart.docx] [|SCORING RUBRIC OPINION ESSAY.docx] [|rubric role play.docx]
