The Great Depression
The Great Depression was a period within U.S. History in which Americans struggled to make ends meet and get back on their feet. It was a time in which socialism became a very attractive outlook on life. In a three week unit focused on America’s struggle through the Great Depression, students were able to be highly creative in their learning and application of key concepts. Students were able to see how different groups in America fought through and experienced the Great Depression. The highlight of the unit was for students engage in The Great Depression Project. Students worked in groups to create a Great Depression meal, fashion, game a family would play, Hobo symbol sign, and their own Hooverville.
