See attached as an example. This is a very short work. Only 5 pages of short slides.

You’ve been hired by Disney to create a 1920s-themed amusement park. Your task is to design an immersive and educational amusement park centered around major themes of the 1920s.

Step 1: Select TWO 1920s Theme to Research and Incorporate

• Prohibition, Speakeasies, Organized Crime
  • The 18th Amendment to the Constitution, which came into effect in 1920, prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcohol. This led to the rise of illegal bars known as speakeasies and a surge in organized crime.
• Flappers, Fashion, and Changing Gender Roles
  • The “flapper” was a new, liberated female archetype characterized by shorter hair, fashionable clothing, and a more independent lifestyle. This era saw significant shifts in gender roles and expectations.
• Jazz Age & the Harlem Renaissance
  • Jazz music exploded in popularity during the 1920s, becoming the soundtrack of the era. Jazz clubs and dance halls boomed. The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement centered in Harlem, New York City, where African American writers, artists, musicians, and intellectuals made significant contributions to American culture.
• Technological Advancements
  • Innovations like the automobile, radio, and motion pictures revolutionized American life and culture during the 1920s. The availability of credit allowed more Americans to purchase cars, radios, and other consumer goods.

Step 2: Design Your Park Using Google Slides, you will be responsible to generate the following for your park proposal: 

• Title Slide: Introduce the new park…pick a name and logo
• Rides – Create exciting rides and attractions that reflect your chosen theme. These should be authentic and appropriate for the period of study, NOT 2023. Limit yourself to the architectural/engineering achievements if the 1920s. If they didn’t have it in the 1920s, you can’t pitch it.
• Accommodations: Where are the visitors staying? Make them look and feel authentic to the frontier era.
• Food: Plan a menu featuring frontier-inspired cuisine. Consider vegetarian and vegan options for modern park-goers.
• Mascots: Create mascots that represent your chosen theme. These could be historical figures, animals, or even fictional characters. Make them fun and memorable!
• Theme Song: Think of a song that replaces it’s a Small World. You can parody an existing song or write an original (don’t’ use ChatGPT…that’s just not fun). If you are parodying an existing song, identify which one. Song should have 1 verse and a refrain.
  • Example:
  • Verse
  • It’s a world of laughter
    A world of tears
    It’s a world of hopes
    And a world of fears
    There’s so much that we share
    That it’s time we’re aware
  • Chorus
    It’s a small world after all
  • It’s a small world after all
    It’s a small world after all
    It’s a small world after all
    It’s a small, small world
