Pieces of String.. Extra Credit Assignment.

Empty store shelves.
Will the students feel that like kids felt in the 1930 Depression?
Our parents heavily affected by their Great Depression, 90 years ago. I have a few food rationing stamps. Will your students hoard like many of our parents? https://t.co/JZOiyp0Fgp https://t.co/rQ55l582wE pic.twitter.com/glapzxUW4h

Black & White Photos

The Depression

The Depression of 1930's was taught to us by our families, their friends, neighbors,
& taught to us in school, books, movies, main street stores,
barber shops, bars, in essence, a little everywhere.
In Black & White photos, we saw
lines in faces,
pained, sunburned, gnarly starving hands holding lethargic starving babies,
Then later in life:
hoarding, saving, scrimping,
never enjoying,
joy could come later,
once you felt
satiety.
