During this period, people struggled to find work both here at home and overseas. It was a really tough time for people living in the great plains of the United States because they were hit with a huge drought that lasted for most of the decade. Many of the crops were damaged an farmers were not able to make enough money to feed their families. For this activity we have to imagine we are there and have think up three ways to help make money for our family's.
1. In summer grooming all the cats around the town.
2. Find and remove fleas in homes.
3. Go hunting with family and sell some of the meat.
Hi there Tia,
ReplyDeleteAwesome work on completing another task! You have come up with some very interesting ways to fund raise for families! I think cat grooming would be a fun job to do (because I really like cats)! Do you have any pets at home? I also liked your third idea about hunting with the family and selling meat, that definitely sounds like a way families could earn money back in those days!
Your second point about flea removal in homes, I'm curious to know, how would you do that? It seems like a very good idea and would be a major help in family's houses especially if they have pets!
Well done on your post Tia, keep it up and I look forward to reading more!
Bye for now
