Last week, the 8th graders learned about how two different presidents responded to the Great Depression. They discussed whether Hoover caused the Depression and if he did enough to help the country get through it. Then, they learned about Roosevelt's New Deal programs. This week, they are working on menu items to show their knowledge of the Great Depression and New Deal. Some students are creating radio broadcasts, some are drawing political cartoons, and others are creating advertisements for New Deal programs. Later this week, students will debate the effectiveness and constitutionality of the New Deal.
Questions for your 8th grader:
-What menu items are you working on?
-Do you think the New Deal caused problems or fixed problems?
