The 1920s was known for great personalities – and you will be one of them at a social gathering at a local speakeasy on Friday.  To prepare for the event, your task is to develop a short first-person biography that discusses the achievements of your role AND why they are such an important figure from the 1920s.  You must include a PRIMARY SOURCE QUOTE in your biography. You should also bring in a PICTURE of yourself AND one ARTIFACT (real, fake, printed, etc., but NOT your photo) that tells something about yourself and your impact on society during the decade. You must also include a SAYING or PHRASE (real or made up) that summarizes your importance. You must also post your IMAGE and SAYING or PHRASE on your speakeasy ONLINE BOARD by Friday.  Check out my online example for help! Notice that all of my RESOURCES are CITED ...
