Enrichment and Assessment Activities

B.     Student travels through time to a particular decade in the 20th century.  Write a story or skit exploring how their lives would be different.  Use as many vocabulary words as possible.

 

C.     Divide students into groups and assign them a decade in which they have to establish a baseball team.  Students must decide which type of marketing, mode of communication, transportation, uniform, and location for each team.  Provide evidence to support your decisions in each one of these areas.  Each team will present their conclusions to the class.
