sentences can either come from their own imagination or from
their memory of the story. After giving the directions, Mrs.
Nelson circulates the room. Almost all of the students eagerly
begin the activity, but Stephanie is looking out the window and
Oscar is doodling on his paper.
o Middle or High School:
Mr. Nelson is teaching an American History lesson about the
Great Depression. Standing at the front of the classroom, he
reads a newspaper article written the day after Black Tuesday.
He then reads two more short articles about the aftermath. He
asks students to close their eyes and think about the last time
they were very hungry or very worried. A few moments later, he
has the students open their eyes. He delivers a 10-minute
PowerPoint® presentation about what life was like in the lower,
middle, and upper classes during the Great Depression, complete
with pictures and clips of popular music from the era. After the
presentation, Mr. Nelson walks the class to the library to work
on research for a small team assignment. Students are told to
work in pairs to write a newspaper article about a day in the life
of an American, as if they were reporters during the Great
Depression. One student puts his head down and falls asleep.
Another student works on sending text messages instead of
helping his partner work on the project.
