Summative: formal assessment includes the collection of the guided debate. Students will be given a grade out of twenty based on the completion, accuracy, and depth of analysis.

Student Activities Students will listen, understand, and participate in the mini lecture to introduce the Red Scare. They will participate in the lecture by question and answering method throughout the mini lecture. Students will be divided into groups of four.

The exit slip will also serve as a reflection and comprehension activity.

Student Activities Each student will engage in a web-based simulation that will reaffirm and promote social constraints on both genders of the 1920s. At the beginning of the simulation, students will use their described characters from the anticipatory set activity. They will chose a gender, location, outfit, and answer various questions regarding the approved behavior of the time. The simulation is designed to be fun and entertaining, while reaffirming the information of the slide and social roles. They will record their success in following the social constraints of the time period.

Teacher Activities The students will view a short lecture presentation regarding the changing women’s roles of the 1920s.
