Your magazine cover should have a title that goes with the time period and the pictures should have captions of what is going on in the pictures

Your magazine cover should include the following categories:

1. Science and Urban Life: under this category you should include things like technology, inventions, and urban life such as skyscrapers, transportation and city planning

The way you set up the layout is up to you.

Written portion:

In an essay of 500 words or more, discuss life at the turn of the century.

 What important changes came about, how did these changes affect people’s lives then and how it relates to today? Your written portion should be typed and stapled to your magazine cover.

The more creative you are the more points you will get. You have to do both portions to get full credit. I will not accept the assignment that is missing either the cover or the written portion.
