Week 1 of second semester

We began looking at Unit 5 the ups and downs of the 1920's and 1930's. They key things we looked at this week were prohibition and why America decided to get rid of it. I showed part of King High Remembers documentary to show what you will be participating in later this semester. We talked a little about how America was dividing along the lines of big city vs small towns. The scopes trial reflected this. We also briefly looked at the Harlem Renissance. Students needed to find their own poem from the time and analyze how it reflected this time period.
