Research Paper Tips

The American Dream over the DecadesBecause we're skipping several decades of literature, you are going to cover those years in a presentation - powerpoint, google slides, iMovie, etc... Choose whether working with a partner will benefit you or not, and start researching the following decades:
1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s |
When researching these time periods, you MUST include the following information:
1. What was happening historically? 2. Who/what/where was the nation’s population demographic? 3. How had the American dream changed? You may also include pictures (with shortened urls underneath them) In ppt/google, create a MINIMUM of 16 slides including a title slide and a Works Cited slide Presentations will be shared on Tuesday, April 7 Presentations will be a MINIMUM of three (3) minutes long
