Lost Generation and the period 1900–1929.

Overview and Description focus on the Lost Generation and the period 1900–1929. 600-word (minimum) M1 Task 2 generational analysis. Minimum of 4 images presented and described. Minimum of 4 sources consulted and cited in MLA format. Spirit of the Times You will be working on a generational analysis that culminates in a final, edited compilation due in Milestone 3. Your analysis will explore the zeitgeist (German for “spirit of the times”) of each era by traveling through the generations and examining a single facet of popular culture related to your field of study. Select one area of popular culture to investigate through each generation from the following list: • Advertising or Graphic Design Consider the generation’s characteristics as you explore how the area you have chosen evolved during that generation. Relate the generation to the area, and you will find the spirit of the times. Compose your analysis with care. Analyze how the area you chose forms a portrait of the multiple generations alive during this time. Think about historical and cultural events, technological advancements, the economy, and the political climate. Describe how those changes might affect one personally. Your project may take the form of a traditional paper. A traditional paper offers an introduction, develops a thesis with evidence, and provides a conclusion. Your paper must include functional links, clips, and/or images. An alternative to the traditional paper is a creative work approved by your instructor and supported with a written analysis. Your written analysis will support your creative project by relating your creative work to the zeitgeist we study each milestone. Some examples are: a menu for each generation, a cinema showcase of film clips or self-made films reflecting each generation, a concert (your own music created in the spirit of each generation), a fashion show for each generation, a video game reflecting the generations, an oral history (interviews with family members, friends, and/or strangers about their generations). Visual presentation is important. Be certain to present your work aesthetically. If you are composing a traditional paper, then images, clips, and/or links will add professionalism. Finally, be sure to employ correct and standard college-level English grammar, mechanics, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure, appropriate logic and voice, and MLA manuscript and citation formatting. Our project examines five generations focusing primarily on their “coming-of-age” eras during which they significantly began asserting themselves as consumers/creators of popular culture. Please refer to the table below to discern the birth date ranges and coming-of-age date ranges for each generation: Generation Name Coming-of-Age Era Date Range Birth Date Range Lost Generation 1900–1929 1883–1900
