Write a Letter!

1.   Writing Letters from the Depression

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!

3-6 - Tuesday Night Homework!

Compete part II of your World War I Poetry packet. This section is the constructed response. You may type your ENTIRE response on the website, however I encourage you to write it by hand into your packet. Use my sentence as a sample introduction sentence.

Introduction: I think the poetry of World War I reflects the horrific conditions of the war.

Example of a detail:

In the poem, "How to Die," the author states, "The lads go west with sobs and curses." This means soldiers were extremely upset to go to war on the Western Front most likely because they feared death.

This constructed response is a great chance for you to 'show off' what you have learned about World War I and compare it to these great poems we are reading. Look for connections between the trench warfare, weapons and technology that we learned in class and what the authors write about in these poems. You may be surprised at the connections you make! Good luck.
