Prohibition

Today we started the class by reflecting on our work from last week. We reviewed our notes and wrote a single paragraph explaining which of the people from the 1920s we studied has had the greatest impact on our current pop culture. This paragraph was turned in.

We then looked over and discussed the quarter 3 project which is explained in the previous post.

We once again examined the course standards. We put them into our own words so we could more easily apply them to the history. We were again encouraged to not simply consume history but to use these objectives as a means to interact with history.

We applied these objectives to a few videos about prohibition. While watching the segments we applied the content to some of the standards and discussed our responses between segments. We watched: A Nation of Drunkards, Brewers, Eliza Jane Thompson, and Hatchetation
