Out of the Dust After reading Out of the Dust, by Karen Hesse, use the novel, and any information you have learned in your other classes along with further research to create an accurate timeline of the Great Depression using a Web 2.0 tool.
 * Objective: ****To identify cultural trends and events of the 1930s by creating a timeline using a Web 2.0 tool. **
 * Overview: Although the Great Depression actually begins in October of 1929, the events leading up to that date are significant. The effects of the depression go far beyond the stock market crash and the economic status of the country. The culture of the US saw various changes throughout the years--many that are still with us today. **
 * 

Some things to consider: What events happened to the “everyday” people? Politicians? Musicians—how was music affected? Farmers/workers? What happened to the entertainment world? Were new laws created—why or why not? ** Some possible Web 2.0 tools you may use are:
 * To receive the maximum points you must include the following: (see rubric for details) **
 * 1. Photographs with captions **
 * 2. Excerpts from speeches of public figures (audio or text) **
 * 3. Passages from literary works (including Out of the Dust) **
