Long Strange Trip: The Untold Story of the Grateful Dead
Created in partnership with Amazon Films, this seven-lesson collection uses the Grateful Dead's history, film clips, and primary sources to guide K-12 students through key American historical events, figures, and cultural themes of the late 20th century.
The potent mix of musical, literary, scientific, and philosophic influences from which the Grateful Dead sprang made them, in some ways, the most American band. As such, the Grateful Dead’s story creates an exciting window through which students can explore key people, times, places, and issues of the U.S. throughout the latter half of the 20th century.
Created in partnership with Amazon Films, the seven lesson plans in the Long Strange Trip: The Untold Story of the Grateful Dead collection create a pathway through which K-12 teachers of all disciplines can use clips from the film, historical documents, and other source material to guide students into important, engaging, and standards-aligned class periods.
