Pop Culture Players of the 1920's

Today we each took on the role of one of sixteen significant pop culture icons from the 1920s. We then mingled with each other collecting notes on each other. The people we took notes on were: Amelia Earheart, Gertrude Ederle, Jim Thorpe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, Louis Armstrong, Margaret Sanger, Alice Paul, Charlie Chaplin, David Sarnoff, Henry Ford, Bessie Smith, Charles Lindberg, George Washington Carver, and Bruce Barton.

We need to bring to class on Monday the notes we recorded. The notes need to include, for each person listed, the following: their name, two fun facts, their accomplishment and an explanation of the each person shaped the 1920's and beyond. (This last one needs to be show our own understanding of the person and not just what the person said).
