- The
1920's and Its Excesses: A Web Quest (website.lineone.net)
"The 1920's in America was a period of opulence and excess.
Our romantic image of the Jazz Age (Roaring Twenties) is heightened
by the images of flappers, pin striped suits, Model T's, the Charleston,
Prohibition, and Speakeasies.
The Task :
How were such romantic excesses of the Jazz Age reported at the time?
In order to answer these questions you must know the culture of the
day, "live" the times, and "become" the people.
As reporters for a Jazz Age newspaper, you and your classmates will
be able to assume the identities of '20s correspondents. Your task will
be to report the news as it happened."

- THE
GREAT GATSBY - THE JAZZ AGE: THE 1920's WEBQUEST (granbyhs.nps.k12.va.us)
"THE GREAT GATSBY by F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays the life of the
wealthy during the Jazz Age (the Roaring Twenties).
The 1920s era evokes images of flappers, racoon coats, the Charleston,
and Prohibition.
These images, however, reflect only a small part of life in this decade.
TASK:
What was life in the 1920's really like? On what people, events, and
activities does Fitzgerald base THE GREAT GATSBY? In order to get the
most out of the novel, you need to understand the culture of that era.
Therefore, your job is to prepare a "special limited edition"
guidebook, make a Power Point presentation, or write a documented research
paper describing life in the '20's as it really was."
