In-Class Today:

We started talking about the the 1920's!

Warm-Up Task: (Poorly scanned version of the reading: The Boom of the 1920's)

What was the ‘boom’?
Use the sources on the first page (front and back) of the packet I’ve given you to do the following:
Make a list of features of the economic boom of the 1920’s under the following headings

• Industry
• Home life
• Transport
• Cities

Now come up with a brief definition of the economic boom of the 1920’s.

Homework for B, E and G Periods (C period had time in class to complete this task):

Why was there an economic boom in the 1920’s?

• Read p. 218-222 and complete the Focus Task on p.222 on a separate piece of notebook paper. (Hint, hint. I would read the Focus Task first before beginning. If you find that making the chart first and filling in doesn’t work for you, just take notes under the major headings as you go for #1.)

Homework for C Period:
Read p.224-226 and take notes on the various divisions described (“city vs. country,” “young vs. old,” “the role of women”), outlining the views of both sides for each.

* C Period also started this PowerPoint on the Presidents of the 1920's
