Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify the contributions of 1920s figures including Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, Louis Armstrong, Langston Hughes, and Babe Ruth

  • Describe Jazz Age developments such as Prohibition, the Harlem Renaissance, women's suffrage, and the rise of radio

  • Distinguish era vocabulary terms including innovation, prohibition, and urbanism

  • Classify 1920s figures by their cultural versus industrial and transportation contributions

Teaching tips

  • Gather the seven listed colors (red, blue, black, brown, purple, green, white) before starting, since every question resolves to one of them

  • Schedule the page as end-of-unit review: the questions assume students have already met Lindbergh, Ford, Armstrong, Hughes, and Prohibition

  • Use questions 18 and 19, which sort figures into music-and-literature versus industry-and-transportation contributors, as a wrap-up discussion prompt

  • Have students mark their answer on the chart first and check it against the key before coloring the numbered region, as the directions intend

Skills covered

  • 1920s history recall — students answer 23 multiple-choice questions on figures such as Charles Lindbergh, Louis Armstrong, Langston Hughes, Henry Ford, and Babe Ruth.

  • Historical categorization — two questions ask which people drove cultural and social change through music and literature versus industrial and transportation change.

  • Domain vocabulary — students distinguish the terms innovation, prohibition, and urbanism and match a synonym for urban.

  • Color-by-number decoding — each correct answer names a color, and students color that numbered region of the 1920s scene to match.

Good to know

How does a wrong answer show up in the finished picture?

Every answer choice carries its own color, so choosing the wrong option puts a visibly wrong color into that numbered region of the scene — the completed picture doubles as a quick visual check of the whole review.
