Bronx Cheers, Flappers, and having "It:" Welcome to the 1920s!

From the fragmentation of World War I, we enter the 1920s.  The Roaring '20s starts this week and we have a great deal on tap to open our first full week of study in this exciting and vibrant unit:
Monday- Start reading Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams."
HW:  Finish notetaking guides for Chapter 22, sections 1 and 2.  Notetaking guides are in packet.  Know when your World War I assessment is due.
Tuesday- Continue reading Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams."
HW:  Finish notetaking guides for Chapter 22, sections 3 and 4.  Know when your World War I assessment is due.
Wednesday- In class viewing of "Midnight in Paris" and complete enrichment sheet.
HW:  See you at the Science Fair tonight!  Know when your World War I assessment is due.
Thursday- Finish "Midnight in Paris" and complete enrichment sheet.  Assign work from Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" enrichment sheet.
HW:  Enrichment sheets need to be done.  Know when your World War I assessment is due.  Options 1 and 3 are in Friday morning at 9:00 AM.
Friday- In class identification writing day.
HW:  Get caught up and get right with the 1920s work.  Option 2 people, your World War I assessment is due before noon on Sunday.

The Tommy Guns permission slip will be handed out to students on Thursday.  If students wish to go, they should do their best to return the permission slip and money as soon as possible.  At the same time, students must finish the work in the unit if they wish to go.  If they do not finish the work, they will not be attending the field trip.

We "roar" on into the '20s.  I hope to see as many of you as possible during the Science Fair Wednesday night.
All best.
Mr. Kannan
