Process

Your first task will be to work with your group (4 members) to browse through the different links to get an idea of who and what made the twenties "roar".  Begin looking for the person that you are the most interested in.  Make sure you visit each individual, in order to get a complete idea of life during the 1920's. 

 

 

 

After you have browsed all of the characters, choose the person that best fits your interest.  Each person in the group should choose a different character.  Discuss with your group who you are interested in and why.  Make sure no two members have the same person.

Individually, read through the suggested websites to learn more information about what made your character roar.  Use the figure graphic organizer to compile your findings and summarize your research. 

Figure Graphic Organizer

Once you have completed your figure graphic organizer, write a newspaper column about your character's accomplishments and contributions to society.  Remember to make your column interesting to read.  Remember to include the important aspects of how your character contributed to the changes that took place in America in the 1920's.

After everyone in your group has written their newspaper column.  Share these with your group members.  Make sure you listen to your group member's character and the important contributions he/she had on our society.
