Decades Review- 25 Homework Points
Instructions: Place the correct time period or decade beside each group of specific factual information. Remember, some items can fit into more that one decade so be sure to read through the entire group. Think about each item, how it relates to a particular decade, and what other terms could be associated with it.
Process:
1st Step: Try to place all of the groups in the proper time period using only your background knowledge. Put question marks by the groups you are not sure about.
2nd Step: After you have gone through it once using your background knowledge go back and look up the items to be sure they are in the right place.
3rd Step: Take three individual items you have little to no background knowledge about and do some research on the items. Write a one paragraph overview and historical context of the three items in your own words.
