Description

This viewing guide provides a great overview to the America in COLOR series from the Smithsonian Channel. I love these videos because they utilize primary sources to tell the story of U.S. History. This episode focuses on the 1920s. This resource is presented in Google Slides, so you can present the guide digitally through Google Classroom if needed. See more in the preview here.

Topics include:

Soldiers return home from WWI | the flappers | the Great Migration | Charles Lindbergh | Jazz music | Babe Ruth | Jack Dempsey | Major hurricane in Miami | Prohibition | The Stock Market Crash | the second wave of the KKK | Women’s Right to vote | The Ford Model T | The Greenwood Massacre | The Great Mississippi Flood | Inventions and Innovations | Bootlegging

All the episodes in this series have primary source videos that have been curated and colorized. They provide a fantastic overview for each decade and can be used as an introduction or a review for a unit. Each episode runs just over 40 minutes, and they are also perfect for subs in a pinch. You can check out the video series on Amazon.

I’ve added these to my middle and high school sections because they work really well for both! I’ve utilized this video as a review for my APUSH classes on several occasions.
