Post-War Stories

Responses due on or before Wednesday, May 19 at 11:59 pm.

We interrupted our study of the world wars to study the post-war boom and the Great Depression, where we enjoyed both an economic and cultural boom and also a bust.  We’re going to re-visit that era this week.

Your task this week is two-fold: 

1. Browse the Internet and also Beaver Magazine to find (and read) some human interest stories from this era.
2. In approximately 200 words each, briefly re-tell (in your own words) a ‘Roaring Twenties’ story and also a Great Depression (or ‘Dirty Thirties’) story. Both stories should have a Canadian theme.

Again, responses due on or before 11:59 pm on Wednesday, May 19.
