I would like to introduce you to our newest Homeschool Resource: The Who a musical group we will be studying this year. If you listen to the musical group The Who what is your favorite song they perform and why?
The Who are an English rock band formed in London in 1964. Their classic lineup consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist and singer Pete Townshend, bass guitarist and singer John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, and have sold over 100 million records worldwide. Their contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall Stack, large PA systems, the use of the synthesizer, Entwistle and Moon’s influential playing styles, Townshend’s feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influence by many hard rock, punk rock, power pop and mod bands, and their songs are still regularly played. The Who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Reading Class:
Charlie will be reading the magazine above and also BEFORE I GET OLD: The Story of the Who
Then in Charlie’s reading journal Charlie will be writing down 3 facts he learned from what he read.
I would like to ask you to visit the library or a book store to purchase a book on The Who. Or you can shop on Amazon for a book just like Charlie did.
After you finish reading the book get out your Reading Journal and write down three facts you learned from the books you read.
Math Class:
Look up how many States The Who has played in and how many times in each State. Look up how many awards they received and how many different awards. Share your findings with someone in your home and ask them to use the numbers to create math problems for you to work out. Then you create math problems for them to work out. Write the Math problems inside your Math journal.
Drama Class:
Look up Outfits The Who would have worn on stage and visit Vintage Clothing Stores. Purchase the clothes to wear when you perform one of The Who’s songs in your Music Class for your parents.
Art Class:
Create a college of all you learned about The Who using different Art techniques. Write a description of what you drew inside your Art Journal.
Cookng Class:
Look up what The Who liked to eat while on stage and prepare the dishes for your parents in our Homeschool Cooking Class. If you can’t find what The Who liked to eat then look up the State/ Country The Who came from and prepare the State Dish for your family.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
