This week, the 8th graders are learning about how the Great Depression affected different groups of people in the United States. Today, they read and analyzed primary sources that showed how the Depression affected women, African Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanic Americans. Tomorrow, they will participate in a Socratic Seminar where they will discuss and ask each other questions about what they read. Later in the week, we will talk about the end of the Great Depression.
Upcoming dates:
Tuesday, January 27 Great Depression and New Deal Menu due
Tuesday, January 27 In-class test essay
Wednesday, January 28 Great Depression and New Deal test
Questions for your 8th grader:
What menu items are you working on?
Tell me about the primary source that you had to read for the Socratic Seminar. Did you find it surprising?
