Introduction
This activity will help you learn about the impact of the Great Depression on American citizens.
How much different would your life be if you grew up during the Great Depression? What basic items would you have to learn to live without? Would you be prepared to go to work at a young age instead of being able to attend school?
Students will work in small groups to learn about how the Depression affected all citizens of the United States, from the bankers and factory workers to the children.
