Students used the presentation stations from yesterday to extend their understanding of a number of 1920s-era topics. Students who were absent today can should read the appropriate sections from the book and take notes on p. 48 in their binder.
Students worked cooperatively to create "presentation stations" based on an assigned 1920s topic. Students will use these stations tomorrow to deepen their understanding of the era. Absent students should work to complete the make up assignment below.
Our focus today was 1920s culture. Students toured stations containing poetry, art, and a biography of Bessie Smith. These stations can be found below - they correspond to questions found on p. 44-45 of the binder. Students also listened to some 1920s music and viewed clips from 1920s silent films. Additionally, core assignment 5.1 was handed out today. It is due on Friday.
Today's focus was economic developments of the 1920s. Students worked to gather and organize information on consumer spending, corporate structure, and welfare capitalism. This was all on p. 42 of the binder.
Students then worked cooperatively on creating 30-second radio ads for a new product of the era. To kick off the 1920s unit, students watched the first 30 minutes of the video below and used the first binder page of the unit to categorize examples of events/items as "conservative" or "flamboyant." This helped us to have a discussion about these two sides of the decade and what happened when they clashed. Students also worked on p. 42 of the binder, but just on the "trickle down" and "associationalism" part. The unit packet can be found below, but students also have one waiting for them in their file folder.
