Not sure how good it actually is as a review, but maybe something for a study break. Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"-This song is basically a list of events, people, and developments from 1950 to 1990.Other folk/protest songs you may want to look into: "Solidarity Forever" (a union hymn for the IWW from the early 20th century), "Where Have All the Flower's Gone" (Pete Seeger's anti-war ballad from the mid-20th century), and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" (a Bob Dylan song about social change during the 1960s the song makes references to issues such as race and the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door").Reading Quiz- 1920s - see Reading List and Vocabulary attached.

This might not be useful for everyone depending on learning styles and all that kind of stuff, but It could be helpful to listen to some songs from the time periods you are studying, especially for the more recent eras (20th century) where there were many folk songs and protest songs about social issues during the time which are accessible today.
