S.S.+Final+Project+Web+2.0

Welcome to our Final Project for our Unit

You are to create a News Broadcast for what we learned in the 1920's. You will be separated into five groups with the following topics: Women's Rights/Flappers, Rise of Gangsters/Organized Crime, Sports, Art & Music, and Political Corruption/Economy.

The Women's Rights/Flappers Group and Rise of Gangster/Organized Crime group will be the lead anchors. Sports will be the Sports Analyst. Music & Arts will be the Culture Analyst Political Corruption/Economy will be the the Senior Political Correspondent.

You will be pick one person from each group to represent your role during the news broadcast.

Assignment: You are to pick one event from your topic and research it in class. The following tasks must be accomplished in your group:
 * 1) On your Wikispaces, you write a mini-report on the event you chose.
 * 2) You will write a script for your reporter for the news broadcast. Make sure when the person states it it is two-three minutes in length and focuses on the following:
 * 3) What the event was?
 * 4) Who was involved?
 * 5) Where it happened?
 * 6) Why was this important/what were the possible effects of this?
 * 7) Create a visual representation of your event. You can either draw it on posterboard or you can utilize a web-design program (such as Photoshop to create it).
 * 8) Create a podcast (3 to 5 minutes in length) that details how your event had an impact on society and what (if any) was its impact on modern culture today.

I will be videotaping the news broadcast and it will be shown at the Living History Museum on Friday.

This will be in place of a Unit Test. Be creative and have fun with it!

Here is the accompanying rubric.
