Bring the intensity, drama, and real world relevance of the First Red Scare straight into your classroom with the Red Alert America simulation bundle. This complete resource set includes everything students and teachers need to explore SSUSH16a through interactive investigation, historical role play, and creative media production. Students begin with a guided simulation where they step into the shoes of a 1921 investigative journalist digging into government crackdowns, public fear, and immigration restrictions. Once they have built strong historical understanding, they transition into a fully developed extension project where they create a four page newspaper, Red Alert Newspaper, Voices from the 1920 Panic, from a chosen perspective. Whether students defend government intervention or challenge it as overreach, they must use evidence, contextual knowledge, and a bit of newsroom flair to tell the story of the era. The bundle finishes with an assessment ready rubric that makes grading stress free and wonderfully transparent.
In short, this product not only teaches the history of the First Red Scare, it invites students to experience it, analyze it, and debate it, all in a structured environment that is safe, engaging, and rooted in the Georgia Standards of Excellence.
