1920s Projects

This week, the 8th graders began their unit about the 1920s.  Students were each given a topic or event from the era and did some preliminary research.  Then, they divided into groups based on the themes that linked their topics together.  Now, each group is creating a project that teaches their information to the class.  The topics are politics, economy, culture, and diversity.  Today, students began brainstorming how they could share their knowledge with their classmates.  They will spend the rest of the week creating projects and teaching them to the class.

Questions for your 8th grader:

• What topic and theme are you researching for your 1920s project?
• Based on your topic, do you think the 1920s were a time of innovation or conservatism?
