We+didn't+start+the+fire+project

As we have discussed in class, "We didn't start the fire" written by Billy Joel is a song that discusses the Cold War. The people, places and things are either directly or indirectly attached to the Cold War. The project that you are going to do is to create a music video to the music of "We didn't start the fire."

Task - there are 113 people, places and things in Mr. Joel's song. It is your task to take people, places, and things from the the year you were born to today and place it in a music video. Just like in Mr. Joel's version you need to link this video to terrorism. The lyrics to Mr. Joel's song are listed below and a neat example will be attached along with a rubric.media type="youtube" key="Vjb83uvglHM?fs=1" height="461" width="631" align="right"
