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: Grade HW (10/15 min)
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. Review HW handouts / Think-Pair-Share (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 #4 and the T-Chart is due tomorrow.
