Visions In the Dust: A Child's Perspective of the Dust Bowl
This classroom guide will help students understand "Dust Bowl history through the eyes of a child. Using Karen Hesse's Newbery Award-winning Out of the Dust as an introduction...students have the opportunity to identify with the personal experiences of youth in the 1930s. In addition, students examine primary source materials of the period to correlate the fictional text with actual visual, auditory, and manuscript accounts as found in the [Library of Congress] American Memory collections."
