Periods 6 & 7, Post 7: The Setting of "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Hi everyone! The main focus of this week has been your projects about the Great Depression and its effect on various aspects of American life. Therefore, here is what I want you to consider this week: what did you learn while researching this topic, that you didn't know already? How has your research helped you to understand the lives of the characters in To Kill a Mockingbird better? Your comments will count as a homework assignment grade for the second marking period of the spring semester.

I've learned that back then during the Great Depression, people turned to music, movies and/or books to relax and forget about they're troubles. I also learned that the first Time magazine was created during the 1920s and it competed with Newsweek.
During the course of this project I have learned that authors such as John Steinbeck and Robert Frost published work at precisely illustrates the struggle of the Great Depression.
