Take your students on a journey through the booming 1920s with the From Factory to Front Porch: How Mass Production Met Modern Advertising simulation. A complete learning experience that blends simulation, inquiry, and creative analysis. This product combines historical storytelling, role-play, and evidence-based reflection to help students understand how industrial innovation and persuasive media transformed American life during the Roaring Twenties.
Through the Roaring Together Simulation, students assume the role of cultural reporters investigating how automobiles, radio, and movies unified (and divided) the nation. Then, they apply those insights in the Ad Men & Assembly Lines: 1920s Product Pitch Challenge, where each student designs or reimagines a historically possible product, crafts a period-accurate advertisement, and evaluates its ethical and social impact.
Every component builds toward mastery towards guiding students to explore both the promise and paradox of early consumer culture.
Roaring Together: How Cars and Culture Connected a Nation - A visually rich background reading with historical context, key figures, and essential questions. Perfect for pre-simulation prep or guided reading.
Roaring Together Simulation Instructions - A structured, interactive classroom simulation where students investigate the rise of mass production, radio, and film as unifying forces in American culture. Includes dialogue-based role-play, guiding questions, and built-in reflection checkpoints.
Extension Activity: Ad Men & Assembly Lines - A post-simulation project that blends creativity and analysis. Students design a 1920s-feasible product, craft an ad campaign, and evaluate the ethical and societal effects of consumerism.
Extension Activity Rubric - A 100-point editable rubric emphasizing historical accuracy, use of sources, persuasive techniques, ethical evaluation, and reflection.
