Transition Words: As a result of this….For example…. In addition….
There were many changes that occurred during the decade of the 1920’s. During the 1920’s many Americans began to blame alcohol for society’s problems.

During the Roaring Twenties, women who had recently earned the right to vote were beginning to express their freedom more visibly. For example, women called flappers had a new style of dress and went out more frequently than in the past. Therefore it is evident that the 1920’s was a very exciting time period that involved many changes.
