THE GREAT DEPRESSION



What better way to learn about the Great Depression than this hands-on activity!  My students created this amazing "Hooverville."  Each student in the co-op made their own "home" using various crafts items and miniatures.  I wasn't the only one that thought the end result was amazing - every student took out their phone to take a picture of the Hooverville. 






This amazing picture looks like dusk at a Hooverville.  The mood was created by dimming the lights and turning on the "fires" - which were actually battery-operated flame shaped lights (from the Dollar Tree!)
