The Roaring Twenties
Lesson Outline
Ben started out by exploring the Nearpod lesson titled "The Roaring Twenties". He learned that The Roaring Twenties was dominated by fashion. The decade from 1920 - 1929 was referred to as the "Roarin' 20s". This decade saw financial prosperity, mass consumerism, prohibition, the Harlem Renaissance, the onset of flappers, and redefined American culture. The edge reached international cities including Berlin, London, Paris, and Sydney while attempting to recover from World War I. Mass production made technology readily available. Consumerism and entertainment/leisure were at an all-time high. The automobile became abundant with the invention of the Model A and Model T. The radio became a primary source of entertainment leading companies to market to consumers. In 1927, the Federal Radio Commission was established to regulate. Cinema also became very popular. Moving pictures were shown in theaters for the low price of $0.25. Silent movies were all the rage putting Charlie Chaplin on the map. In 1927, silent films gave way to talkies, movies with actual sounds. Animated cartoons were born and Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat came to life. Also in 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew on his first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Infrastructure was needed and indoor plumbing along with sewer systems were developed. Ben scored a 100% on his quiz.
