I. Organizing point

In today’s lesson we are revising the period just after World War I and the 1920s. Let’s remember some key facts about the situation in the American society of that period and the processes which took place.

II. Warm-up

To start with, let’s clear it up why the twenties got such a nickname – “Roaring”. Before you start to produce ideas, here is the definition of the word “roaring” – making a deep very loud, continuous noise. Pupils start giving the right ideas, sometimes with a little help from the teacher:

• Model T (Tin Lizzie) – the car by Ford-shook, rattled – was very noisy. Millions of Americans had it.
• A lot of electrical devices/appliances had been invented (for household). They were noisy as well.
• In the 1920s radio was invented. Radio stations were all over the country – more noise made by radio reports, music, etc.
• Jazz was very popular (and very loud) style of music those days.
