Mr. Goodman
The 1920s was a decade of America changing while others resisted it changing.
America was also one of the first decades of the modern teenager.
Task: You are going to write a story taking place in the 1920s using the
information you learn in class. This is worth a test grade so don’t put off starting
it.

occurred during the 1920s
 The story has a beginning, middle and an end

listed in the story on a separate piece of paper
