The 1920's is designed to supplement your students' study of the 1919-1929 decade. The unit is made up of 24 exercises that together form a mosaic of American life during these years. Each exercise includes reproductions of documents from the National Archives and suggests classroom activities based on these documents. It also includes a booklet containing a teachers guide plus a set of reproductions of original documents. A CD-ROM contains exercise worksheets and digital images of original documents including personal letters, news clippings, photographs, graphs, maps, and telegrams which reflect a wide range of social, political, economic, and cultural themes of the decade as seen from the points of view of citizens who corresponded with the federal government. Students practice the historian's skills as they complete exercises using these documents to gather information, identify points of view, weigh evidence, form hypotheses, and draw conclusions. Other units comprising the Teaching With Documents series are: The Constitution: Evolution of a Government The Bill of Rights: Evolution of Personal Liberties The United States Expands West: 1785-1842 Westward Expansion: 1842-1912 The Civil War: Soldiers and Civilians The Progressive Years: 1898-1917 World War I: The Home Front The Great Depression and The New Deal World War II: The Home Front The United States At War: 1944 The Truman Years: 1945-1953 Peace and Prosperity: 1953-1961
