• I use this activity on the first or second day of my 1920s unit. This primary source does a great job explaining that 1920s culture and society was a reaction to WWI.
• If I have extra time or am working with honor students, I will assign the writing extension activity. It is not required to fully understand the content but it is an engaging way to help students feel a connection to how a flapper would have felt in the 1920s.
