1920s Famous Individual Mini-Project
Many people became famous in the 1920s for a variety of reasons. Some of these people are still well known today, while others have been forgotten over the years.
This mini-project is a quick way to become familiar with one important personality of the Twenties. Follow the instructions below:
1. Your teacher will assign one person to each student. Both that person and something he or she is associated with will be all you will be given to start.
2. Time will be given in class to begin your research, but you may need to use the media center at other times.
3. You will gather your information for your oral report on the organized form provided. This is to be handed in with your visual aid.
4. On a piece of oaktag, you will prepare a visual aid about the person you are researching. On the oaktag you will give the name you have been assigned, add some kind of artwork that explains what that person is famous for, and print three or four sentences to briefly explain why this person was important in the Twenties.
5. You will be expected to give a one to two minute oral report on the person you have researched. You must give all vital information, including an explanation of your visual aid, biographical information, his/her activities during the 1920s, the impact of these activities and other points of interest.
6. Your grade will be based on: (1) neatness, accuracy, and 2) imaginativeness of the poster; (3 accuracy and completeness of the information in the oral report; and (4 delivery of the oral report.
Use the following to help you organize for this mini-project: Who is the person you are researching? Why was he/she famous? How did he/she contribute to American society during the Roaring 20s? You may use the DBQ essay format to work on this.
