Homework: Read pages 440 – 451. These pages are about very
interesting sports, music, books, and culture of the 1920s. We will be
working on a small project to juxtapose the 1920s with the 2010s. Collect
information into these categories: 1920s-A youth fad, a couple of pieces of
popular music, a picture of youth clothing (for your gender), a piece of art,
and a popular book (or more if you wish). Think about something you
like for our day for the 2010s. You can do the whole thing on the
computer. Due Friday-you may email it to me and I will put them into
a power point and we will watch them all at one time.
