After you have taken your virtual field trip and examined first-hand accounts about the Depression-era problems and people, write a summary (1200 words) of your own experiences and observations about the people and the programs you encountered, highlighting at least three of them. Include in your summary:

  • What were the purposes or goals of these programs?
  • What impact did these programs have on the people you met on the virtual field trip?
