Social Studies project wikispace for 1920's.

Picturing Modern America (PMA) contains interactive exercises designed to: * Deepen students' understanding of common topics in the study of modern America 1880-1920 * Build students' skills in analyzing primary sources, especially visual sources * Generate questions that students can pursue by searching in American Memory and other sources. Above all, we hope that you use PMA to encourage your students to actively read, question and discuss the photographs and other documents that give us fragmentary evidence of American life at the turn of the last century.
