Slang Matching

This worksheet asks students to match 1920s Prohibition-era slang terms with their modern meanings. Students must carefully interpret each slang word and its historical context before selecting the correct letter for each definition. The activity helps learners understand cultural vocabulary from the era and how language reflects social behavior. After completing the matching task, students write a sentence using one of the slang terms to show applied understanding. This reinforces vocabulary retention and encourages students to engage creatively with historical terminology.
