Teenage+life+in+the+1950s

1) Spend 5-10 minutes and read through the following links to gain insight on the lives of young people of the time period we are currently studying.. Examine fashion, free time, fads, movies, hair, etc... [|50s Teens 1] [|50s Teens 2] [|50s Overview]

2) From what you have read your task will be to create a 2 panel "toon" that represents TWO different characteristics of a teenage life in the 50s. We will be using a program that members of my class from semester one have already used. This program is called [|Toondoo.com]. If you have not used this program before you will need to register for this free application.

-When you are logged into toondoo.com, click on the "TOONDOO maker" icon on the right of the screen and select the two panel template. -There are a variety of backgrounds you can create, BUT you can also download pictures from the web as backgrounds as well. -Be sure to label each of your TOONS, so someone looking at your illustrations can understand your picture.

To save your assignment click on the icon in the "toondoo- start here icon" in the upper left hand corner and on the "save" icon (it is the middle icon of the 5 shown). PUBLISH your toon on the website & click "view it later."

This assignment must be completed by the end of class Friday, April 16th. We will post these assignments to your individual page on Friday.
