Review: What should already be done before starting the
project? Page 1- The 1920’s
experience ·
½ page of notes involving what you learned from the
1920’s experience website ·
Beneath the ½ page of notes should be 1 paragraph
about how new technology effected America in the 1920’s (see The 1920’s
experience webpage for details) ·
½ page of notes (see Stock market crash website)
·
Below notes, 2 or 3 sentences on the theories that
caused the crash
What to do with this new information? Now that you have successfully read all about the Roaring
20’s and the beginning of the Great Depression, it is time to put this
knowledge to use. What not a better way to learn more about the 1920’s, than
to make a book about it. A BOOK! That sounds hard and long, but do not be
deceived. The length of the book will only be twelve pages. It will provide
people with important information as well as include many colorful pictures! What exactly is involved in making this book? Well, in
this book every left hand page will contain two pictures. Each picture should
have a label of what it is underneath. One will be of someone, or something
that is important now and the other will be of that same thing from the
1920’s. Then on the left hand side will be at least two paragraphs containing
(1)what the pictures stand for, (2)how the two pictures are related, (3)why
you picked them, and (4)why they are important to our American history. You
will need to design your cover page and come up with 6 topics that you can
put with pictures. The pictures can either be hand drawn or if you have a
graph, you can paste it. All the materials should be provided. All you need
is yourself and a little bit of creativity! * Make sure
that you check for grammatical errors, and produce a neat and organized
paper.
Example: Here is an example of a woman flapper from the 1920’s verses a woman in a
nice suit from 2005. These fashions are important because they show how
women have grown and changed over the years…
