1920's+overview

You have been assigned an important part of the 1920's. You may use class notes, //The Americas// textbook and/or the internet to help you find as much info as possible on your assigned topics. You will create a new page for each topic that you have been assigned. I want you to focus on the 5 W's and H (as much as possible). You are the expert for your topic so be as detailed as possible so you can help your classmates. When everyone is finished you will use the pages you and your classmates have created to make a **Time Capsule**

Select 5 items you would put into a time capsule labeled “1920s.” The items should be real things that existed during the 1920s and are representative of the decade. Your time capsule can be large in size if you want to include "big" things. Your time capsule should be completed on a separate page (you are each creating your own).

For each item you choose to include, you must type a 7-8 sentence paragraph that:

• explains what the item is • how it relates to the 1920s • why it is a significant part of the 1920s • why it deserves to be in your time capsule
