During the break you will read about the 1920s and the Great Depression as discussed by Howard Zinn. You will read the end of "War is the Health of the State (pgs 368-376)" and the entire chapter "Self Help in Hard Times (pgs 377-406)."
In our next two units we will investigate the Labor Movement and the Civil Rights Movement. As you read I would like you to consider the questions: Why then? Why did the Labor Movement get underway when it did?
Assignment: After reading, I would like you to identify the following terms. You should draw a three column chart. Label as follows.
Column A - Point of View (What does Zinn want you to know, think and believe about this?)
Column B - Evidence (Quote the text)
Column C - Connections/Significance/Discussion (Why is this term important? How does this connect to the Labor Movement? How does this help you answer or begin to answer the EQ "why then"?)
