Today to introduce you to the Great Depression, we watched a clip from the film, "Cinderella Man.." I think it will help you feel the emotions of the era better than anything else. People were desperate and afraid. How could this happen in the great country of America?
If you have never seen this movie before, I highly encourage you to find a copy and watch it in its entirety! It is fantastic!

Read at least 3 of the personal stories about Americans who lived during the Great Depression. Write a one page (typed or handwritten) summary of the experiences you read. How did the Depression impact the life of the average American?
