Exploring America in the 1950s: Beneath the Formica is an
interdisciplinary humanities unit that looks at literature, art,
and music of the 1950s to provide an understanding of how those
living through the decade experienced and felt about the world
around them. Through the lens of "identity," it explores life in
America and the myriad groups that coexisted in harmony and, often,
with friction. Cultural icons like Elvis and the Beat poets are
examined alongside larger issues such as the Cold War, conformity,
and Civil Rights struggles. The unit uses field-tested
instructional strategies for language arts and social studies from
The College of William and Mary, as well as new strategies, and it
includes graphic organizers and other tools for analyzing primary
sources. It can be used to complement a social studies or language
arts curriculum or as standalone material in a gifted program.
