Popular Culture and Traditional Values
Media Movement
As media advanced in the 1920s and 1930s, more avenues to communicate personal values, beliefs, and lifestyle choices arose. During this period, radio, movies, magazines, and newspapers were popular forms of media. Today, Americans still connect with others through these means, but also through many more technologies.
In this application, you will produce a radio announcement to communicate an important part of the Roaring Twenties to a modern day audience. Each step below will provide you with choices, and help guide you through the assignment.

| Step Three |
Create a one- to two-minute long radio announcement to present your cultural issue to a modern-day audience. You can record yourself as a radio announcer using either video or audio. For inspiration, you may want to listen to a few of President Frankin D. Roosevelt's fireside chats found on The White House Historical Association website. |
