The Great Depression 6-Pack for California

Build literacy skills and social studies content-area knowledge with this nonfiction title! This 6-Pack offers an integrated English language arts approach that specifically addresses California content standards for history-social science, as well as reading, writing, and English language development standards.

Act out the story of Florence Owens, a migrant worker and widowed mother of seven during the Great Depression. A published photograph of Florence upset her, but she meets with the photographer to discuss her feelings and learns how important her image was in helping migrant workers during that time. The six roles in this script match different reading levels, enabling teachers to use differentiation and English language learner strategies in their instruction.

This 6-Pack includes six copies of this title and a lesson plan that aligns to California's History-Social Science Content Standards.
