The New Deal Programs Postcard

March23

This week we are finishing up our research writing project on historical people of the 1920s and 1930s by creating a Fakebook page.  It is BOTH a social studies grade and a grammar grade.  We are so proud of the students’ effort on this project.

Next week, the students will briefly research 1 of the 3 programs created by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal during the Great Depression of the 1930s.  Click on the “Social Studies” page link to find approved research websites to gather information on the CCC, WPA, or TVA.  The students will take this information, pretend they are a person who just given a job thanks to one of those programs, and write a postcard home telling about this new job opportunity.
