Latin Soul History

In most cities such as San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles, Houston, Texas, and New York. The African American Audience was the main audiences mostly because they would sing the R&B songs and soul. This was important for new Latino musicians, because “Chicano Rock” had started in the 60’s and had emerged from Blues and Rock’n Roll and blew up in East LA. So when Latin Soul was starting in the 1960’s they had really good bands, such as: Sunny and the Sunglows, Thee Midniters'and more famously, Cannibal and the Headhunters' most of the listeners thought that these groups were African American bands.

commentary

Reading the article "Classrooms have become unnecessarily high tech" by the Mercury News, showed me a different perspective on how I see our school (HTHI) and how I look at other schools that don’t have the same privileges like our school does. For example, having a class set of lap tops and doing either our class work or homework for humanities on a blog, and having the ability to learn different software and computer programs But I do agree with this article, saying that the government spends thousands of dollars on textbooks, especially when they have to do changes to them, or when they want to add things. And in some ways when your in fourth grade you shouldn’t be learning how to type and use the keyboard, just like how it use to be the kids should learn to use the keyboard in junior high or high school. Yes, we should be up to date with our technology be we still need to teach the things that will never get old in a textbook. Which is why I think that most schools should have class set laptops, because that way if the government wants to change or renew some kind of information, it is easier and don't need to pay a whole other $30,000 for new textbooks, instead could use that money on supplies the school might need. Plus a laptop has information from all the subjects from math to history to English and science all put in one resource.
