Mr. Marcozzi's 20th Century Studies Wiki 

Project Assignment:  Your challenge is to create your very own wikispace (webpage) dedicated to 20th Century Studies. You will be creating pages for each of the decades listed below for each of the following categories (check the requirements link for the specific requirements for each category):
 * ||= 30s ||  *  ||= 40s  ||  *  ||= 50s  ||  *  ||= 60s  ||  *  ||= 70s  ||  *  ||=  **80s**  ||  *  ||= ** 90s ** ||

>    >     >     >     >     >      You will be working in groups as well as a class to complete this assignment. Collaboration and communication is key. You will need to identify the key historical events of each decade and then decide, as a class, which group should appropriately be charged with creating the entry for that event. Many events can properly be treated in many categories so it is important that the class discuss and decide as a group to avoid repetition.
