Part I

The lyrical style should follow the pattern of the 2 models that are provided and should include political, social, cultural, and economic events of the period. = = Examples: //We Didn't Start the Fire// - Billy Joel Paint it Gilded-Daniel Wade

Part 2
Working in the same groups create a Wiki that your classmates can use to learn about the decades of the 20th century. **//Your Wiki MUST include the key foreign policy, political, social, cultural, and economic events of the period as well as trends in popular culture and American life. Include links to relevant sites, timelines, people to know, etc. It should be visual as well as textual.//**
