Week three blog post one

this video that I found gives pictures from the great depression with little commentary.  I thought the pictures were very powerful and would really be helpful for the students to understand the times.  We are currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird and these pictures are very helpful for them to understand just how bad it was then.  I think a lot of them hear the comparisons of the Great Depression and to today's economy and they don;t get it or are confused.
I really liked this resource.  I found a lot to use and gave it out to a lot of other teachers right away, which I got a lot of thank yous for.  So thanks for turning me on to this site I will be using it often.
