Chicopee Comprehensive High School

The Roaring 20’s (Postwar World War I & the Jazz Age)
Students will explore the youth culture of this time period and learn how events following the “Great War” led to gangster crime, women’s rights, and the Black Renaissance.  Activities might include samplings of period dance music, clothing to try on, learning some slang from the period, and examining artifacts.
