This site works in conjunction with my 8th grade U.S. history class. We cover 20th Century U.S. history, current events, and the U.S. and Illinois constitutions. Homework can be viewed on the Middle School website.

WebQuest II: 1920s & 1930s Fashion
20s & 30s Day is just around the corner: Friday, October 27th. You’ve read the handout; now check out some era fashions on the web.
You can use the search terms that we came up with in class. If you find good sites you can post them for us in comment section or let me know in class.
A good site that I found was Fashion Era
These sites are also good as well:
(The first two are actually pages of links to lots of sites. Especially check out the “Chicago Exhibition” listed under history on the 20s site.)
