Socials 11 The 1920’s Scrapbook For our 1920’s unit we are going to flip the classroom around. Your homework throughout this unit will be to watch and read through the Prezis that will be posted on the class website. It is expected that you will come to class having read the information – understanding it or coming with questions that you want clarified. Class time will then revolve around the completion of the 1920’s PROJECT – The Scrapbook. The Scrapbook is designed to be a clear demonstration that you understand the social, political, and economical changes that Canada experienced during this post war decade. Presentation Format: Scrapbook: this can be completed in the form of a booklet, duo-­‐tang, file folder, artifact box etc. It can appear to have been aged or put together recently – up to you. Remember there are no pretty points. Webpage/other computer format: You are allowed to use a computer to assemble this project; however, you will be responsible for bringing your own laptop/ipad. We may occasionally use the computer labs at the school, but the majority of the time will be spent in-­‐class. Sitting in class doing nothing and saying that you are doing it on the computer at home is not allowed. The Project: You need to collect artifacts, articles, visuals from the 20’s (don’t worry I will supply some and you will use the internet to collect others) These artifacts along with your written words will give me a clear picture of what happened ECONOMICALLY, SOCIALLY, AND POLITICALLY in Canada during the 1920’s. Information that is REQUIRED: Socially: Politically: Balfour Report Soldiers returning from war Unions Statute of Westminster Roaring Twenties Citizens Committee of 1000 Halibut Treaty Culture: fashion, Winnipeg General Strike Imperial Conference entertainment etc Bloody Saturday Chanak Crisis Arts/Sports/Jazz NDP/CCF Role of Women – Persons Regionalism Economically: Case Maritime Rights Movement Natural Resources Inventions Progressive Party U.S. Investment Minorities William Lyon Mackenzie King Branch Plants Canadian National Identity Arthur Meighan Bootlegging Canada’s Independence Prohibition King Byng Crisis Stock Market Crash What Needs to be Done: Part 1: You need to perform research on each of the topics, collect articles, images, and notes about each and present them in an organized manor. (I don’t want entire articles; rather I want the PERTINENT information. I will provide a number of sources to you, but you cannot rely solely on what I give to you. You must access ALL the resources that you have available to you. Part 2: Using the information that you have collected you must answer a series of guiding questions. Your answers should be in the form of PEE ORGANIZERS and MIND MAPS. NOTE: While you may have to do some of this work at home, this is meant to be an in-­‐class project.
