Introduction
In this webquest, you will explore pictures from The Great Depression. I want you to become familiar with how people had to live back in the 1930's. Life was completely different for people back then--so much so that it is sometimes hard to relate to literature written during that time period. This webquest will help us relate to our story. The following websites are the websites I want you to explore.

Task
You will explore the websites I provide by looking at each picture and analyzing all the little details. I absolutely want you to read every caption for every picture. This will help you understand what exactly is going on in each picture. At the end, you will choose one picture that affected you the most and create a Google Doc with that picture. You will include the picture along with a detailed paragraph under the picture explaining why that particular picture affected you so much. I want to hear your honest thoughts about the picture and why it is such an emotional picture for you.
