Today we focused on the second half of the 1920s leading to the stock market crash of 1929. Earnest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms," the voice of the "Lost Generation" - the name was coined by American writer Gertrude Stein... The Harlem Renaissance... The failure of Prohibition... We watched two 2-minute presentations: one on the rise of organized crime in the 1920s and the other on the Scopes Monkey Trial. We had about 30 minutes as Vlad was in rehearsal for the talent show tomorrow. I know he has been working hard on his presentation. I look forward to it!
