Directions:
In honor of the up-coming Academy Awards, our APUSH class will be creating its own award show
( APUSH Awards ). Instead of an award ceremony focusing just on movies, your award show will be cen tered on everything to do with the 1920s, and instead of the winners receiving an “Oscar,” your award winners will receive a “
Grason
” (extra credit to anyone who figures out why I would name it that).
Just like at the Academy Awards, you will have major categories for awards (Best Picture, Best Actor,
Best Actress, etc.) and minor categories (Achievement in Sound Mixing) for awards. I am not assigning the categories because I want to see what great ideas your creative minds come up with.
What you want to keep in mind is that along with being creative and entertaining, you want to cover as many topics as possible, along with providing valuable and accurate information. Make sure to have a bibliography at the end of your project.
Specific Duties:
1. MAJOR CATEGORIES

Create FIVE MAJOR CATEGORIES , each of the four major topics on the next page have to be covered.

For each of the five major categories, have 4-5 NOMINEES (does not have to be people) with explanations as to why they have been nominated.

Announce the WINNERS , and have a SHORT ACCEPTANCE SPEECH given by each winner (should express why they think they deserve this and/or thanking anyone that helped them win this).
2. MINOR CATEGORIES

Create FIVE to SEVEN MINOR CATEGORIES , must cover at least 2 of the major topics on the next page.

Announce the WINNERS , and have a SHORT ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
3. PRESENTATION

Ideally, this should be done in powerpoint, but I realize not everyone has access to this, so you can do it as a regular report also.

Please include visuals with all awards and nominees.
This is a major project (no test or essay this unit), so make sure you do your research and your project shows it.
