Hello children! Recently we have been reading Of Mice and Men. As a follow up assignment I want all of you to attempt to put yourself into the perspective of someone who would have lived at the same time as George Milton and Lennie Small. However, they do not have to be ranch workers!
Imagine that you are able to step back in time - back to the decade of America’s Great Depression, 1930-1939. What would life be like for someone living then? What kind of education would you have? Where would you shop? What would you wear? What would you do for entertainment: go to the movies, watch television, listen to the radio? Now, what if you could become someone other than yourself?
This is your chance to be someone else, someone different. You will assume the role of a person living in the 1930's. You may be anyone you want: a migrant worker, a dust bowl refugee, a city dweller, or a country farmer. If you wish, you may link your pretend person with another classmates or one of the book characters, and be brothers, sisters, or mother and child. This your chance to assume a role!
