USA L1 - Were 1920's Americans Living the 'American Dream?'

This lesson contains:
A starter to discuss what students know about America and what comes to mind when they think about it. It's a good intro to the topic as a whole as somethings they know about will come up in the course.
A discussion about the American Dream and what they think it means, or offers. Students study a short excerpt from the Declaration of Independence. This is followed by two videos from YouTube which give different interpretations. Students then summarise, in their own words, what this is.
An informative video full of footage from the 1920's showing the boom years. Students note-take on a mind map of features of the booming 1920's.
An activity to study information on a handout about people's experiences in the USA in the 1920's and use it to complete a worksheet showing on one hand, on the other, those that lived, or didn't live, the American Dream.
A plenary for a judgement on the enquiry question.
