The Roaring Twenties: A Decade of Decadence

With World War One coming to a close, the 1920s were seen as a decade to "return to normalcy". As it would turn out, that decade would be anything but normal!

For this week's blog, visit this website. Notice this site gives you information about significant events from each year of the decade. Also, as you scroll down on the main page, you will find interesting info about the culture (music, sports, fashion etc) of the decade.

Spend some time perusing this site and finding items of interest.

For the comment section...

1) Create a "Top 10 List" of the 10 most interesting things you learned from this site about this decade. (100 words at least)

2) Write a paragraph as to why the 1920s was "anything but normal" for Americans. (100 words at least).

World War One: Eyewitness Accounts

We are looking at World War One this week during class.

For this blog assignment, select a story from this website.

In the comment section, write a 200 word post describing your story and what you learned about WW1 from what you read.

As with last week's blog, you cannot post about the same story someone else read. So, the sooner you post your blog, the better!

Progressive Era: Political Cartoons

We're going to revisit a blog idea we've already done this year.

For this week's blog, please Google "Progressive Era Political Cartoons" and find an interesting one. Research what the cartoon is depicting, who drew it etc and write your 200 words about it. Be sure to paste a link so I can find the cartoon myself.

This blog is first-come-first-served, so once a cartoon has been blogged about, it is off limits to the rest of the class.
