1920s: The Craziest Decade In Our History (Maybe)

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!

This week's blog has two assignments-each with a 200 word comment. Please do not post until both assignments are complete.

Part One: 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, write 200 words about what you found most interesting on this webpage.


Part Two: Watch this video.

1) Create a "Top 10 List" of the 10 most interesting things you learned from this video 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).
