(Introductory Project to The Great Gatsby
“The Roaring Twenties”
Before we begin reading The Great Gatsby, we should learn a little bit about the time period. The 1920’s were a time of gangsters, flapper girls, prohibition, and new fancy roadsters. Pre-Depression and during a new era of industrialization, the 20’s would newly define an American Dream for many Americans.
You will have this period to utilize the library. After that, your requirements are as follows:)
make a PowerPoint with pictures
topic:
Arts/ Entertainment – What did people do for fun at that time? Who were the Hollywood stars?
(EXCEPT music, cars, Visual Arts)
NOTE: The fewer words on the PowerPoint the better. Keep only the keywords on the slide, and please place most
of the content(script) on the speaker note 🙂
