1920s Newspaper Project
For this assignment you are required to create the front page of a 1920’s
newspaper. You will use the notes in class and the scrapbook “Confident Years”
activity to plan your articles and advertisements
Rationale: This assignment will help you learn about the 1920’s in greater depth
and actively apply your knowledge.
Description:
 Your front page will need to include:
o A newspaper Title
o At least 2 Advertisements
o A Date
o Pictures
o 3 articles with catchy headings – the article should be no less then 150
words each. One article should be about politics, another about
society and the third is your choice.
 Format: You may create the newspaper article on the computer, or you can
make a small poster
 You may work individually or in pairs (no groups of 3)
 You will need to submit your completed scrapbook search with the front
page as well.
Assessment:
You will be marked based on the content, accuracy and organization of the articles.

over for marks.
This will be due before Christmas break.
