The Great Gatsby Era - A Roaring Good Time!

You have been time warped back into the year 1927.  You are experiencing first hand an era of wonderful fun, also known as "The Roaring 20's".   You are a reporter for an up and coming magazine called "The Speakeasy Spectator."  Your job is to research the culture of the 1920's, completing the 5-step internship assignments, and ultimately design your first magazine cover.   

You are about to meet some of the most famous and notorious people of the day, discovering answers to such questions like, "What is the music scene like?  What is prohibition?  What is the economy like during this time?  What is fashionable during the 1920's?  What are automobiles like at this time?  How is technology advancing during this time in post World War I America?" 

Your internship will last approximately 3 weeks, during which time you will complete your research in this Web Quest and submit the 5 field work assignments explained at the end of each segment.  Your final project for the "Speakeasy Spectator" will be to submit those findings for publication, along with a unique and creative magazine cover for the April issue.  Final copies will be presented to the class. 

Remember, all submissions must be typed, 12 pt. font, New Times Roman, double spaced.  Be sure to review and edit for spelling and grammatical errors.  So grab your bags, notebooks, pencils & PC's as you head out into the streets of The Great Gatsby!
