US History

Click on the image ONCE to see the larger version.

You (and your small group) have been assigned to analyze and present on 1 of the ads taken from the 1920s. You do not need more than one laptop per group, if at all. Think about the film we just saw and this guiding question: How are the 1920s the first decade to be like us?

For your assigned ad, use the SEE/THINK/WONDER model of analysis, having one group member WRITE OUT your responses.

1. SEE: what do you observe? Note as many details as you can in the image without adding any interpretation.
2. THINK: what is your interpretation of something in or about the ad? For each interpretation, follow it up with the answer to the "what makes you say that?" question.
3. WONDER: what are some questions you have about the image? You should not know the answer to these questions.

Be prepared to present your analysis to the entire class.
