Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Students will support a supplied main idea about the 1920s with three key details.
Students will match era-specific vocabulary terms to their definitions.
Students will sort key historical figures of the 1920s by their area of expertise and contribution.

Teaching tips

Assign Version A or Version B based on individual reading level, since both versions lead into the identical set of activities and organizers.
Use the key-people organizer as a jumping-off point for short student presentations on Langston Hughes, Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, or Louis Armstrong.
Have students complete the illustration page after finishing the fact web, so their drawing reflects specific details from Prohibition, women's suffrage, or the Harlem Renaissance rather than a generic scene.

Skills covered

Selecting details to support a supplied main idea in an informational text
Matching vocabulary terms to definitions from context
Organizing historical information by category (person, contribution, era)
