In The Great Depression: Experience the 1930s From the Dust Bowl to
the New Deal, readers ages 12 to 15 investigate the causes,
duration, and outcome of the Great Depression, the period of time
when more than 20 percent of Americans were unemployed. They
discover how people coped, what new inventions came about, and how
the economics of the country affected the arts, sciences, and
politics of the times. The decade saw the inauguration of many
social programs that Americans still benefit from today. The
combination of President Roosevelt's New Deal and the dawning of
World War II gave enough economic stimulus to boost the United
States out of its slump and into a new era of recovery. In The
Great Depression, students explore what it meant to live during
this time. Projects such as designing a 1930s outfit and creating a
journal from the point of view of a kid whose family is on the road
help infuse the content with realism and practicality. In-depth
investigations of primary sources from the period allow readers to
engage in further, independent study of the times. Additional
materials include a glossary, a list of current reference works,
and Internet resources.
