Choose any topic or any topics addressed in this lesson:
1920s Events
Modernism
Disillusionment after WWI
Flappers
Consumerism in the 1920s
Write a dialog discussing your view of the 1920s. What do you think about all the things happening in the 1920s?
You must use at least five slang phrases, words, or expressions from the 1920s.
Include specific details about the topic(s) which clearly portray your knowledge of the 1920s. Do not generalize; use concrete details.
Talk about some issues of the time. For instance, how did the people in the dialog feel about consumerism in the 1920s or the Flappers of the 1920s? Or what was their impression of the many events that occurred during the 1920s?
Be creative! Before submitting, make sure your dialog makes sense (has a point) and is not composed only of expressions.
Watch the spelling, capitalization, and sentence structure.
