ROLE #5-Omnium Gatherum- You are responsible for bringing together the cultural influences that affected the economy, politics, crime, technology, and literature. Of course you cannot report on everything in these categories, but choose two important items from each on which to report.
Several links below should help you, but try to expand beyond these . 
You might start with an article that gives insight into the Flapper psyche. Read also this site about other cultural and economic influences, and pick out five influences here to display and explain on your project board. You may have to go to other sites to find pictures to fo with your descriptions.
Read the site about F. Scott Fitzgerald. Make comparisons between what was taking place in the 1920's and what Fitzgerald's personal life was like. 
As you read about the economy in this next site, find out how Henry Ford contributed to the way people lived and thought. What about other technology? *Read the article, choose five things that seemed to influence the economy at this time, and write a paragraph for your projectboard that explains each influence.
Invite a Miss America from this decade. Explain how Miss 
America was chosen.
Explain who the members of The Lost Generation were and what they represented.
Invite several members from the world of organized crime. Read the article about the St.Valentine's Day Massacre. What questions does this article make you wonder about. List at least five questions that you would like to ask one of the organized crime figures about their organization.
Now that you are almost finished with the research segment of your role, it is time to collaborate more with your fellow cruise plan members. Make sure that you have not unnecessarily duplicated information; make changes if necessary to avoid repeated information, since there is plenty of information out there. Try to make your ideas flow so that your individual products do fit together for a unified cruise experience.
Now is the time to purchase materials such as the project board, glue, markers, or paper. Please let me know if you need help with getting any of these items.
Make sure that you have completed all of the activities that have an "*" beside them in your role instructions. These paragraphs, diagrams, or lists will accompany your project board. Make sure that all pictures have labels or legends. Check for misspellings in your lettering. Try to make your project boards present a coordinated effect with markings, labelings, and letters. Some variety is fine and expected, of course.
Make sure to follow the rubrics for both the project board , brochure, and the oral presentation.
Make sure that you know the due date for your presentation and that all of you are ready. It is important that you communicate thoroughly to decide who will introduce the cruise project and give an overview and who will speak next, etc. Have these details worked out ahead of time.
Be ready as you conclude to answer questions from your classmates after they have listened to all of you. Any one of the planners can answer a question. You should have enough working knowledge of the 1920s to be able to explain most concepts or be able to find the answer easily.
