1920's Trading Cards

Summative Assignment Sheet

You have all seen trading cards of some sort in your lives. Trading cards have been around for a long time, whether in the form of sports cards, comic cards, or some other type. They usually appear in a standard format: picture on the front, information on the back. I will show you examples of trading cards in class. Feel free to bring in your own cards to use as examples for yourself and your peers. This assignment will call for you to create your own trading cards based on the 1920’s.

Your assignment will be to make 6 quality 1920's trading cards. There won’t be many restrictions on this project, since I’d like you to be as creative as possible. However, there are 6 guidelines that you must follow while working on the assignment.

.

1. Choose 6 topics relative to the 1920’s.

a. For each topic you will make one card

2. Trading Card Topics

a. Of your six topics, four can be about people who had an important role in the 1920's.

b. The other two topics must be about an important social, political or economic event that took place during the 1920’s.

a. If you are not sure about the subject of a card, please ask! It is always smart to ask before you start.

3. A picture of your subject will go on the front of the card

a. Just like a baseball card, the front will require a drawing or a photocopied picture of the topic.

b. There should be a title on the front that identifies the person or event on the card.

4. Information about the subject of your card will go on the back.

a. People Cards:

a. Explain who the person is and why the person is important to the 1920s in a 4 sentence paragraph or poem. .

b. Event Cards:

a. Explain what the event is and why the event is important to the 1920’s in a 4 sentence paragraph or poem.

5. Cards should be no smaller than a 3”x 5” notecard.

a. 4” x 6” seems to be a good size, but you may make the cards larger if you like.

b. Remember to keep the cards neat and be as creative as you like.

6. Packaging

a. The cards should be packaged like pack of trading cards you would buy at the store. There needs to be a wrapper and a title for your group of cards. The quality and creativity of your packaging will influence your creativity grade.

This is a Summative Assessment for our chapter on the 1920’s. You have your past assignments, past notes, and textbook to use as sources, but you may also find it necessary to use other sources to complete the assignment.

The due date is Friday, Jan. 12th. Three class periods will be dedicated to working on this project, the rest will be up to you to find time.
