Final Blog Post Reflection
This last blog post was definitely the most difficult blog post, because we had to find incorporate so many different sources to play into one idea of comparing two separate but connected aspects of the 1920s. Overall, I enjoyed having this blog. I think it was the best and easiest way for us students to analyze historical literature for a grade; for not only were we allowed to analyze pieces of writing about a historical topic we are interested in, we were able to type our responses from the comfort of our homes, which was nice. Working as a group in these kinds of things can be an issue, but it does not have to be. Also, not trying to be a kiss-up, but I really, really enjoyed this class this year, Mr. Ray! This blog combined with all of the information I learned makes me feel really knowledgeable.

Fashion of the 1920s Reflection
Each blog post we are able to dive deeper into the culture of the 1920s and how race relations and gender relations drastically shaped and changed American culture in this decade. Darlene and I wrote it a little differently this time, so it sounds different, but I like how many facts we were able to put into the post.

The Economy of the 1920s Reflection
Like our last posts, summarizing different sources has become easier. I think the economy of the 1920s is interesting and important because of how it reflects in where our country is currently, and therefore we liked talking about it.

Golden Age of Sports Blog Reflection
I'm finding that synthesizing the articles that Darlene and I find has gotten easier and that I am quicker and more efficient at doing so now. I love talking about sporting culture because the culture of the 1920s is so reflexive of American culture today that seeing how it really began to build in this time period is interesting. In addition to that, I enjoyed trying to connect the post to a facet of American culture today, because while it wasn't hard for this topic specifically, actually writing down those connections makes seeing the cause and effect easier for me.

The Harlem Renaissance Blog Reflection
I have been finding it easier and easier to summarize the documents Darlene and I have picked out. The important elements have been easier to recognize and summarize each time. The 1920s has so much happening! There are so many facets of the decade that the topics to write about are endless, and that is exciting. I was especially thrilled to write about African American culture for this blog post, because I believe that the Harlem Renaissance was an important starting point for the later Civil Rights Movement, which is necessary to American history. Overall the blog posts have been going well!

First Blog Post Reflection
This blog post was interesting! It may sound ridiculous, but I honestly have not done a book report in so long that it was kind of nice to read something and just summarize and analyze it. I really liked the book and the way in which it was organized, with each chapter reflecting a different year. I only got through the first three chapters, so I am going to need to continue it, but I have already learned a lot more about the 1920s than I knew going in and my thesis on the 1920s is definitely changing. Overall it went well, it was a little shorter and less detailed and factual that I would have liked it because I did not time wisely and had a short period of time to write it (which is entirely my fault), so next time I will manage my time better.
