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.

1950s & 1960s Trivia WebQuest
We’re looking for questions and answers about all things 50s & 60s. Your job is to rummage around the Internet and look through books in search of interesting facts about the 50s & 60s that you can use to write trivia questions. Use your 1950s video sheet as a guideline.
Find the info, write the questions.
Beware of Wikipedia. I'm not saying that you can't use it, just remember, it is written by anyone and is not always reliable. Be smart when choosing your sources.
World Book is another good resource. Remember what Ms. Fillipitch showed us in class.
Also, check out classzone.com too. Click here and then check out the resources for Ch 28, 29 & 30. There are crosswords, quizzes and other resources.
Once your trivia is finished and you've written down your really good questions on note cards, do some fashion research to assist you in dressing up for 50s & 60s Day.
