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
Questions teachers ask about this resource

Charles Lindbergh, Louis Armstrong, Langston Hughes, Henry Ford, and Babe Ruth, plus Prohibition, the Harlem Renaissance, women's suffrage, radio, the Model T and assembly line, and vocabulary terms such as innovation and urbanism.
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.
