Overview
The purpose of this discussion is to understand the differing points of view regarding the flapper lifestyle during the Roaring Twenties.

Instructions
For this discussion, review your readings for Unit 8 and read the following instructions carefully. Feel free to do research outside the course if you'd like other points of view.

All have their own opinions regarding the flapper lifestyle. Each group will answer the following questions:
How would your character describe the flapper lifestyle?
Do their opinions represent that they advocate for progressive change or the preservation of traditional American values?

To form groups, students with last names beginning with A-F will take the role of the flapper. Students with last names beginning with G-L will take the role of her parents. Students with last names beginning with M-S will take the role of the male jazz artist. Students with the last names beginning with T-Z will take the role of the young male farmer.

Be sure to put yourself in the shoes of the person you are speaking for -- try to imagine how that person felt, what their ideals were, what they thought was good or right or appropriate at the time, even if you personally do not feel that way. Remember, history is not about you; it is about what people knew and felt and believed in the past, based on different knowledge than you and other modern people have about what happened later.
