Aim: To what extent did social conditions in the United States change during the 1920s? For women? For African American? For ethnic minorities?
Bell Ringer: Review and collect political cartoon/written editorial. Did I say this was due Friday?
Objectives:
1. Students will explain the causes of the public reaction (Sacco and Vanzetti, labor, racial unrest) associated with the Red Scare
2. Students will examine the freedom movements that advocated civil rights for African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and women.
Agenda:
1. Bell Ringer (10 min)
2. Activity: Show the video clip of 1928 movie Our Dancing Daughters (http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/294234/Our-Dancing-Daughters-Movie-ClipOpen-Vicious.html) Observe the way that 1920s women are depicted in the clip. Work with a partner to read and categorize the opposing viewpoints about the 1920s “new woman” and the bobbed hairstyle (http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5117) in a T-chart (Attachment F).
3. Debate the opposing sides. As an extension, assign students to read F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story “Bernice Bobs Her Hair” (http://public.wsu.edu/~campbelld/engl494/bernicebobs.pdf).
Home Learning: Complete political cartoon/editorial.
