Deep Unit: America, 1930-1945
by Dr. H - February 26th, 2011
Over the next 2 weeks we will be looking at the period from 1930 to 1945. On Wednesday we’ll finish up the 1920s with a discussion based on your worksheet from Friday (which you have no doubt worked on over the weekend). If you were writing the chapter on the 1920s, who would you put at the beginning? Who, for you, exemplifies the spirit of that decade? As you researched the people on the list I gave you (the list is below), what were some new things you learned? We will also go over the stock market crash and the start of the Great Depression (Chapters 24 and 25). I’ll hand back your Document Duels #4 and #5 and share my thoughts on how those weekly assignments are going. I will introduce the Primary Source Project assignment.
On Wednesday of this week, please bring the FTR book to class, because we’ll be starting the Primary Source Project, a paper that compares 2 primary source documents and uses them to build an evidence-based historical argument. The guidelines are also posted under the Assignments tab.
