WAR:

1945 - 1960

PROJECT #2 IDEAS

STEP 1 conduct enough research to understand your art form and artists and to present them in a clear and compelling manner.

STEP 2 identify a key primary source (or sources) related to your area of research: song lyrics, poem, artwork, audio or video performance. You will share the primary source with your classmates during the presentation in order to help them understand the relationship between the artists and the era.

REMEMBER! Explore the significance of these art forms and artists and how they help us to understand the post-war decade: 1945-1960.

DON't FORGET

REMEMBER: You need to cite your sources in Chicago style, the standard for history papers. Here are the citation managers we have available.
