== As the world bid farewell to the 1910's, it was introduced to a decade that would be unlike any other. Separating two world wars, the 1920's followed events such as the sinking of the Titanic (1912), the invention of stainless steel (1913), and the completion of the Panama Canal (1914). The Roaring Twenties would have their own share of excitement and wonder as well - the Treaty of Versailles ended World War I, penicillin was discovered, and the Sultan of Swat hit 60 home runs. These events were and still are significant, but they reflect only a small portion of the full story. Unfortunately, this time period could not last forever. The 1930's soon led to the beginning of World War II, a conflict that cost 6,700,000 civilian deaths in the Soviet Union alone. ==

= Final Project: = == The final project for this unit will consist of creating a magazine covering aspects of culture, politics, arts, music, lifestyles and the likes from the 1920's. The students will be creating this magazine in a group of four. Each person will be working to create a product that is reflective of the time period. The magazine will be published in the classroom and should be reflective of the 1920's as much as possible. In the course of the project, the magazine should mimic a magazine's content and style, making a 1920's edition that is reflective of that magazine's format. Follow the link to the following webquest to complete the assignment. ==
