Today were were assigned a partner and given one of these "identities":
Women’s suffrage leaders; Flappers; Mobsters / Gangsters / Criminals; Movie stars / Actors; Politicians; Sports Figures; Musicians / Entertainers; Businessmen / Inventors; Farmers / Agriculture; Immigrants; Native Americans; Mexican Immigrants / Laborers; Klansmen; Labor leaders / Union workers; Religious leaders; African-Americans
You then researched basic information about that group from the mid-1920's, and used that to create a 12-line dialogue scene between two invented characters.
After that, we watched a film about the stock market crash, the Great Depression, and the Dust Bowl. based on what you saw there, you wrote a second scene, showing your characters several years later.
