(Monday's Late Post) DLT - I can recognize the despair felt by people during the Great Depression through photography.

On Monday, we looked at the work of Dorothea Lange, a photographer who took important photos of life during the Great Depression.

First, we watched the video on the making of Lange's most famous photo:

We analyzed the photos on three levels:

1. Just stating the facts about the photo (ex. Who is in the photo?  How many faces are featured in the photo?)
2. Analyzing and Interpreting (ex. What are they thinking?  What do you think they are doing?)
3. Connecting the photo to history (ex.  Based on what you know about the 1930s, what is the situation of the people in this photo?)
