The Decades Project!

 
We have finally reached Block 3, which means The Decades Project!!! We placed ourselves into groups of four and chose the decade we wanted to research, represent, and convince others was the best decade to live in! Knowing this was coming, our group chose our members during Block 2 so we would be sure to have a great group! At the beginning of the semester, we chose the decade we would be (1920s-1980s) and our group chose the 1920s. Throughout the semester we researched information, gathered pictures, artifacts, and items for costumes, and put together our project.
 
Today we put together our tri-fold board with pictures and awesome scrapbooking paper Carmen bought.
 

 
Our completed tri-fold board! I'll add a lot more pictures once we actually present our project. 

 
After we glued all the pictures down, Aubrey went back and wrote names and words sporadically to clarify the pictures.
 
 
These are some of the pictures we included in our PowerPoint and on our board:
 
 
The 19th Amendment: Prohibition

 
Louis Armstrong: famous Jazz player

 
The first Mickey Mouse cartoon debuted in the 1920s
 
20th Amendment giving women the right to vote

 
The Big Parade, one of the major selling movies during the 1920s. Movies began to have speaking parts during the '20s.
