The Great Depression

 The Movie below is keyed up to start at the 35 min. mark if you just press play.




Soup Kitchens being offered by Charitable Organizations

Protests





 Many People 'rode the rails' looking for opportunities


1. As talked about in class, their was no government safety net during the Depression. Think of all your possessions, all that you have. In the comments below, record all the things that you absolutely need to exist. 

2. If we were in the situation that many here in Manitoba faced during the Depression, little to no means of income for you and for most of the people in your family and for most of the people you know, how would you exist? What ways would you find to get the things you need? What ways would you find the extras, like entertainment and gifts? Record this in the comments below.

  20. I Would try and grow crops, and have animals for extras. For entertainment I would definitely make toys out of medal and wood. You take a knife or something Sharpe, and you scape the material into a shape! Me and my family would play games and keep each other company. It would be insanely hard to live like that, but I could make it work!

  25. I would need water, food, shelter and energy.

  26. 1. I would i would absolutely need as much food and water i could get and i would need some kind of shelter like a tent or something. then i would need some kind of clothes to keep warm and to contain "things".
    2. if i were in a situation like the depression to get the things i need i would do what is needed to survive. I would do most things but i would avoid anything that could have negative effects on someone else so stealing would be off the table. For entertainment I would do something that would require no extra's like parkour so i don't need to sped extra for a ball or other equipment. as for gift i would most likely spend as small of a amount but i would still try and get something worth my and there time. Back to the ways to get what is needed i would probably need to start child labor if that was what is needed i would do it.
