Catcher: Life in the 1950s

Create a blog post where you discuss what life was like in the 1950s. Use links, images, videos to show examples.

Ideas to consider: 

• What were the popular movies, songs and TV shows?
• What was it like to be a teenager in 1950?
• How did teenagers talk?
• How did people dress?
• What were boarding schools like?
• Feel free to go above and beyond this.

Grading:

Above and beyond:

• Information is appropriate, specific and used in a creative manner.
• Completed research is diverse and wide-ranging, covering multiple aspects of the topic.
• Research presented in an organized, creative, interested manner. All requirements are met and presentation suits the material and audience. 

Basically Fine:

• Information presented from research is appropriate and adequate
• Completed research covers topic, but not in a thorough manner. 
• Research presented in an organized fashion and all requirements for each group role are completed. 

 Could've done better:

• Information presented from research is appropriate but needs significant revision.
• Completed research shows a small sample of the information available on the topic. 
• Research presented fairly well, but does not complete all requirements for each group role. 

Didn't try:

• Information presented from research is vague and inadequate. 
• Completed research is inadequate to properly complete the task.
•  Research presented in an unprepared, haphazard manner.
