The Great Depression
In an effort to learn firsthand what it was like to live during the Great Depression, write ten questions that you might ask someone who lived through it.
How many people committed suicide?
What was it like living in a Hooverville?
What was the presidents reaction to the stock market crash?
How many people actually got laid off?
Did people ever get kicked out of freight trains?
Where did soup kitchens get all their soup?
How much money did the government spend to get people back into a normal economy?
What happened to the rich people?
How many people died from starvation?
Did necessary jobs, such as doctors and firefighters, get laid off too?
