Williamsburg Call and Response Songs

          Below you will find the call and response songs written and performed by students to the tune of an African-American slave song called "Juba."  I asked the students to create and perform these songs to show the different aspects of colonial Williamsburg during the 1700's.  These turned out great!  I was so impressed with their creativity and their rhythm!
