**Instructions for Glog Poster (what students need to include)**:

 * Include Title: 1920's and Great Depression Project
 * 3 "**General Culture**" elements - Describe with Image or Video and Text 3 different topics relating to General Culture. This can just be a simple '1 paragraph' explanation of each and the significance to the time period. Why did you feel it was important or interesting? Include citations.
 * Choose ONE item from the "**Topics / Events**" column. Provide details and in-depth study using Photo's / Slideshow. **This is where students should spend the most time. A 'slideshow' using photos from the era should be created and embedded into the Glog. You must use Powerpoint for this portion. We will then convert the powerpoint to a Youtube video to import into Glogster. Text is required. Sound is a bonus.** Each slideshow should be detailed and in depth and written in students own words- include relevance - why did u choose this? What was the significance to the time period? - connections with other parts of your glog. Citations are requred.
 * Include photo and information (one paragraph - 4 sentences) about one person from "**People**" column (you may also choose person important in era that is not listed). Why did you choose this person - relevance to time period. Citations.
 * Define 5 **vocabulary** words relating to topics - may include vocabulary not listed here. Use words that connect to other parts of your glog
 * Include sources for each area - site websites / books / other resources within each text box. Consider one 'text box' that is just used as your reference / citation listing with the different URLs that you used to get information. Or include citations within each section.
 * Consider using a 'Voice' to tell your story
 * Include 2 - 3 interesting facts that your found in your research.
 * Include a 'reflection' about your Glog - just a few sentences about your experience doing this
 * Do you know anyone - relative, neighbor, family friend - who lived through the Great Depression. Would they have any stories or interesting facts to share? You could get their comments into your Glog. Saawweeet!!
