This Inspiration template provides 6-12 grade students with a workspace to explore the Great Depression using the Library of Congress' website to view photos, articles and audio recordings of the era. Students research and hyperlink to resources from the site. Depending on the grade level curriculum, the template can be used in conjunction with John Steinbeck's, The Grapes of Wrath. The template is an excellent foundation for a research paper or oral presentation. The accompanying template provides a workspace for students to examine more closely the works and life of author, John Steinbeck.

A video demonstrating how to use this template in the classroom can be found on Teacher Tube.
