History Class Project

Imagine having a class project where your options were to write a paper about where our family was during the great depression, or create a scrapbook. I wasn't too surprised when T-man chose to work on a family scrapbook album. We managed to locate several wonderful old photos of family. I scanned them, and had them printed at Walmart.

T-man's project turned out absolutely beautifully. I'm really impressed with what he did. Apparently his teacher was too...

Here are a couple of pages of the album documenting the dust storm back in the 1930s.

 



The photos were taken my Great Uncle.

I have linked to the full album on my photo albums page - see the side bar of this blog for the link.

Looks interesting. I enjoy writing... But I also enjoy scrapbooking. I don't know which I would have chosen.

Neena, it's great you enjoy writing! I always have a lot to say, but my words aren't always organized very well. LOL I think I probably would have chosen to do a scrapbook.

Gale, thanks! It was a fun project, gathering the photos and information. I was amazed when I saw the photos of the dust storm. I didn't restore any of the photos before we had them printed. I think that might be my next project... ha! Like I have time for any more projects in my life.

It's hard to imagine such terrible dust storms. They were called the "Dirty Thirties" for good reason!
