paper) If you don’t know what a paper doll looks like….Google it . Your doll

and learned about flappers. (make sure she is appropriate…we’ll as appropriate
as a ‘flapper’ can be) must include a minimum of 5 identifiable flapper qualities.

use the book or internet resources to help you decide what your subject

recording of your ad. This CANNOT be visual. A person during the
1920’s relied on great descriptions from their radios. Be sure to use all of
your creative energies!

Create a time capsule containing a minimum of 3 items that ‘sum’ up the
1920’s. You will need to use information we have gone over in class,
your book, and the internet to develop ideas. Pictures and written
descriptions of objects ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. Only items and or 3D
creations are acceptable as part of the capsule. Think outside the box on
this one….what explains this mild/wild decade?

Come up with another idea of your own. You must discuss your plan with
Mrs. Wienke and get approved before any work will be accepted.
A few things to consider:
 You will have 2 FULL class periods to work with computers in
class. You are expected to get the minimum 75 points completed
during this time period. You will need to use your time wisely to
accomplish this. (If I identify that you are misusing class, points
will be deducted from your assignment. “I am going to work on it
later/at home”….NOT ACCEPTABLE-HAVE MATERIALS WITH
YOU)

Only the minimum assignment will be subject to LATE WORK
Status (-50%). Optional work WILL NOT BE COUNTED IF
INCOMPLETE OR LATE.
