The   Twenties

Prepare: Read Chapter 7 of the textbook. Find a primary source   from the 1920s that is related to the group that you chose for your Final   Project and that you can use in your Final Project. You may use one of the   primary sources listed this week, or you may find your own.Watch the Credibility: Critical   Thinking video, and then use the Library   of Congress Primary Source Analysis   Tool to help you think about and   understand your primary source.

*Note: Remember that a primary   source is an artifact or document created at the time of an event or by   someone who personally witnessed the event. Please review the handouts, Types of Sources and Primary Sources.

Reflect: The 1920s was a decade of significant social change and   social conflict. Consider the sources of social change that occurred in the   1920s, how those changes affected the group that you chose for your Final   Project, and what long-term effect those changes had. Reflect on how the   event represented in your primary source relates to the larger social   transformations going on. Think back on the video you watched, and think   about the guidelines for credibility outlined in it. How credible is your   primary source?

Write: Based on information from your textbook and your analysis   of the primary source you chose, answer the following: 

• Why do you think the event        was important, and how does it fit into the conflict and changes of the        1920s?
• How does the event you chose        relate to your Final Project topic?
• What does the primary source        you chose tell you about this topic?
• What does it not tell you?

Your initial post should be at   least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the   required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any   references. Your references and citations must be formatted according to APA   style as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center.

Respond to Peers: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day   7. Each response should be at least 100 words.
