1920's Magazine

Using Microsoft Publisher, you are to complete the following project:

Your job is to create a magazine covering aspects of culture, politics, arts, music, lifestyles and the like from the 1920's. You will create a magazine that is reflective of the time period. Your magazine will be published in the classroom and should be reflective of the 1920's as much as possible. In the course of your project, you will mimic a magazine's content and style, making a 1920's edition that is reflective of that magazine's format.
Magazine Requirements:

1. You will choose a magazine format which you will imitate. After analyzing the current magazine's format and describing the relevant style and content of the magazine's creators + the typical reader, you will create a magazine that mimics that format. The magazines you can choose from are (most of these magazines did not exist in the 1920's, but we are more concerned with their format):
   1. Time                                                     9. Life
   2. Newsweek                                           10. Entertainment Weekly
   3. Sports Illustrated                                 11. People
   4. Vogue                                                  12. Forbes
   5. McCall's                                               13. Fortune
   6. Vanity Fair                                            14. Rolling Stone
   7. Harper's                                               15. Vibe
   8. Ladies Home Journal                           16. Outdoors
   9.  
2. You will create a magazine with the following components according to the format of one above:
   1. Cover Page (Lead story, picture, title of magazine, editors/contributors, & date)
   2. Table of Contents (this has to be created last)
   3. Four feature or news articles. Articles must be written as if they could be in your model magazine during the 1920's (e.g. in a 1920's issue of Time). Each group member is responsible for 2. They can be about any significant event, trend or development during the 1920's.
   4. - Articles should be typed in column format, like a newspaper or magazine
3. Keep margins of 1 inch all around

....4. -The page on which your article is written should be in magazine format; that is, no large expanses of blank paper. You might wrap the article around a picture or an advertisement.
....5. Your articles must correspond to the date of your magazine and have some perspective of time. For instance, if your magazine is written in 1927, you cannot write about the stock market crash of 1929, and any articles about Babe Ruth must either be about the glorious 1927 season or retrospectives about his still vibrant career.

Supplement Material:

You will add the following:

2 advertisements
1 graphic (map, chart, etc)
Letter to the editor
Political Cartoon

This project will be due at the end of the unit.
