Of Mice and Men: Library & Map Project (Powell)

BOOKS:
We have many books on the assigned topics!
Go to our online library catalogue to search for books, or check the table next to the computers.

DATABASES:
Go to the LAUSD Digital Library, and from that page try these databases:
  • Facts on File
  • ABC-CLIO
  • Brittanica Online
  • Salem Press History
WEBSITES:
Wikipedia's okay for an informal project, but you would not be able to cite it in a formal paper.  (In college, for example!)  If you use Wikipedia for this project, make sure you use at least 2 other sources as well!
The Great Depression (University of Illinois)
Digital History - 1930's (University of Houston)
The New Deal Network (Roosevelt Institute)
American Memory from the Library of Congress
Timeline of the 1930's
Treatment of Mentally Disabled

Interested in a PBS Documentary about the Dustbowl?  (Best to view at home or at lunch, since it's long!)
