Q After watching and discussing the song, “We Didn’t Start the Fire”, by Billy Joel, “compose” all of the important headlines from the year of your birth to now in a similar style, or as close as you can, to what Joel constructed for the song. You can either list every five years or every ten years, whichever you would prefer (every five years would be slightly longer than every ten years). Also, try to find at least 2 to the 3 important headlines for each set of years. Bonus: After listing the years, you can earn an extra point for this assignment if you comment your thoughts of the headlines (example: finding any correlation between current issues and past issues.)
