Write a Letter!
Directions:
Imagine you are the woman in the picture below, during the Great
Depression. Write a letter as if you are
this woman. Write it to a family member
and discuss all of the problems we have talked about today. Share personal stories in this letter. DO NOT just mention the problem (for example,
do not just say “there is hunger”—talk about your struggles to find food—where
do you get it? How does that make you feel?
How much do you get to eat?).
Your letter should be about 1 page handwritten on a separate sheet!

Dear Family,
I am very sorry to say but I am going though Great Depression.
the reason why I'm telling you guys is because I need ya'll help as soon as possible anything that ya'll sent us right now can help my two kids and my self buy food to eat and clothes to wear, and it can also help me apply for a job that can make Great Depression easy for my family and my self.
Thank you! for your support
