Page "School of Rock" Paragraph 2

Incompetent as a teacher, Dewey resorts to granting his students large amounts of free time and recess.

He requests that they simply call him " Mr. S ." after failing to spell the name " Schneebly " on the board.

When Dewey overhears his students playing in music class, he realizes that the children of his class are musically talented.

Dewey decides to turn his temporary job into what he tells them is a " special class project ", but is actually a personal one: to turn his class into a rock band and crew to serve as a vehicle to stardom by winning the upcoming Battle of the Bands, where he is out to avenge his eviction from his old band and win the $ 20, 000 prize.

He says that the project will test " your head and your mind and your brain.

" After realizing that the kids are mostly interested in pop and hip hop music, Dewey turns the school days into lessons of rock history and music playing, exposing his students to those artists he regards as rock legends.

Many rock legends are featured in classic photos and footage during a montage scene, including Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Iggy Pop, The Who, Rush, The Clash, Nirvana, AC / DC, Black Sabbath, Yes, and David Bowie
