1920s Webquest (Roaring Twenties)

Students will gain basic knowledge about key events, issues, and people during the 1920s. The webquest uses a very student friendly website that covers all of the major ideas of the 1920s. Please check out the website by clicking on the link below.

The webquest contains 50 questions and should take students 30 to 50 minutes to complete depending on age. An answer sheet is included for the teacher and a QR code is included along with the traditional website link. Feel free to modify this activity if needed to fit the needs of your students. The webquest will work with students in grades 5-12, though grades 6-9 are the main focus of this webquest.

The following topics are covered in this webquest:

18th Amendment and Prohibition

Stock Market and Consumer Spending

19th Amendment and Social Change

Jazz Music

Al Capone

Charles Lindbergh

The wonderful clip art is from The Artventurous Life.
