All About the Great Depression

In our 5.3 language arts class we have been reading Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. In this novel, a young boy searches for his father during the Great Depression. In order to understand the novel better, we created a wiki for the Great Depression. You can search through our wiki to learn more about the important people and events of this time period.
