Prepare: Read
Chapters 7, 8 and 9 of the textbook. Find a primary source from the
1920s that is related to the group that you chose for your Final Project
and that you can use in your Final Project. You may use one of the primary sources listed
this week, or you may find your own. Complete the “Analyzing Primary
Sources†activity in Chapter 8, section 8.1 of your textbook to help you
think about and understand your primary source.
*Note: Remember that a primary source is an artifact or document created at the time of an event or by someone who personally witnessed the event. Please review the handouts, Types of Sources and Primary Sources.
Reflect: Think
about the changes and conflicts which defined the 1920s through the
early 1940s. Consider the social changes that occurred in the 1920s, and
how those changes affected the group that you chose for your Final
Project. Consider the changes that the United States went through from
the Great Depression through World War II. Reflect on the causes of the
Great Depression and the New Deal programs of the Roosevelt
Administration. Identify the event represented in your primary source.
Think about what your source tells you about the event, and what it does
not tell you. Think about how that event relates to your group, and to
the larger transformations going on.
Consult The Anatomy of a Discussion Board as well as Critical Thinking: A Guide to Skillful Reasoning as you formulate your response.
Write: Based on information from your textbook and your analysis of the primary source you chose, answer the following:
