Chapter 22 Roaring Twenties Test

The test is this Thursday and Friday.  

Make sure to study you review sheet on the back of your binder check (and below) and take your Ch 22 Practice test at SuccessNet.  

The practice test will be graded pass/fail for completing it, not on how well you do.  Many test questions are on there but not all and some questions on the practice test aren't on the actual test.  

Good Luck!

“Harlem”
by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore –
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over –
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?


  • Who was Langston Hughes? 

  • Using your knowledge of 1920s America, what is this poem about?

20s & 30s Dancing

We'll give this a try in class and then in the gym during 20s & 30s Day.
To help I've tried to round up some videos.
First, here's the song for arguably the most famous dance of the time, the Charleston.


And here's some vintage footage, recreation and dance instruction:




Lindy Hopping from the 30s & 40s (footage from the 1940s):


And finally a really interested segment on the "Big Apple" Dance of the 30s.
