Hi, folks! I wanted to alert you to a new resource you can use for our work with the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.
If you're interested in this time period or these events, now is the best time to start reading about them. In a few weeks, we will begin your research project. Though you get to select your own topic, your list of subjects will be related to the Great Depression. Here is an excellent resource on the Dust Bowl: a major factor in our decline into the Great Depression.
PBS's Surviving the Dust Bowl is a text and video resource for you. Check out the eyewitness accounts and stories told by those who experienced these horrific events. Read the interviews to get a sense of everyday life during the Dust Bowl. You should also check out the video, something sure to give you all kinds of information.
If you would like to watch the video during class, please request a set of headphones so as to not disturb your classmates. Enjoy!
