Task
In the 1920's, people had more money than they knew how to handle
In the 1930's, those people began to lose all of that money as the stock market began to crash
At first they dined, extravagantly
and then they whined, regrettably
because they $pent, carelessly
It's up to you and you're team to demonstrate the effects of these two time periods through the realms of art, literature, and music...

Conclusion
Let's wrap up this dine and whine quest by brainstorming ideas for a 10 second snapchat video of what you learned!
Tomorrow in class I will take a snapchat video of each group telling me in 10 seconds what they researched and learned about through their "job"
Then I will play the completed snapchat story for us to enjoy in class tomorrow! :)
