Depression   and Mobilization

  

Prepare: Read Chapters 8 and 9 of the textbook and watch the World War II:   Breadlines to Boomtimes   video.

 

Reflect: The Great Depression and World War II represented   tumultuous years for Americans. From the widespread and appalling poverty of   the Great Depression to the horror and excitement of World War II, consider   the ways that Americans were forced to work together for the good of each   other and the nation. Think about how the experiences of these years, both   the good and the bad, forever changed the Americans who lived through them.   Consider the changes that the United States went through from the Great   Depression through World War II. Reflect on the specific causes of the Great   Depression and the New Deal programs that the Roosevelt Administration   created to address each one.

 

Write: Based on information from your textbook and your analysis   of the primary source you chose, address the following points: 

• Explain at least three causes        of the Great Depression and the specific, corresponding New Deal        programs meant to respond to those causes.
• How did the societal changes        of this period affect the group that you chose for your Final Project?

Your initial post should be at   least 250 words in length. Be sure to mention your chosen group in the   subject line of your post. Support your claims with examples from the   required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any   references. Your references and citations must be formatted according to APA   style as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center.

 

Respond to Peers: Respond in a substantive manner to at least two of your   classmates’ posts by Day 7. Each response should be at least 100 words.
