 * __Great Depression Journal Activity __**





 Using the insight and information you gained during today’s lesson you will be creating a journal article from the perspective of an individual who lived during the Great Depression Era. To begin, select one of the above photographs. Next take some time to brainstorm what that individual’s life was like before and during the Great Depression; how has it changed? Compose a journal entry as if you were the person in the photograph. Be sure to use your five senses (what did life feel like, look like, smell like etc.) to add detail to your journal entry. See the attached rubric for further instruction and grading details.
