"The business of America is business."

- President Calvin Coolidge

Choose one of the 12 people you profiled in your previous chart.

You are a newspaper reporter in the 1920's.* Write an article that would appear on the front page of newspaper about the person you chose:

  1. Give more detailed background information about your character's life. (You may need to do additional research.)
  2. Explain one key event that involved your person of choice - this is main portion of your article.
  3. In a separate paragraph (not included in your article) explain how your person's life reflects the spirit of the "Roaring" 1920s. How is your person a "character" of the '20s? (What about your person's life is unique to this period in history?)
*You can earn extra credit by formatting your article as it would look in a newspaper during the 20's. (advertisements, other headlines from the time, images, etc.) 

 Submit your completed assignment on the next page.
