16. Station 5:  Themes of 1920
17. Have a 3x3 grid of 9 themes from the 1920’s with their definitions or explanations.  Have pictures that represent each theme.  Each picture must include a number or mathematical operation (+,-,X,or/).  The themes on the left and right get numbers and the middle column gets operations.  Each line becomes a formula.  The answer gets put into the Google Form.
