Lesson Plan

Loc: Migration During the Great Depression: Living History

Curated by ACT

Most people in Central Florida came from somewhere else. Learners first analyze life histories from American Life Histories: Manuscripts from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1940 to learn oral history techniques. They then interview and photograph these "transplants" and collect their life stories. In the process, students strengthen their communication skills and learn of the diverse experiences of people who now call Central Florida home.
