- Description:
- 'The activity uses a Franklin County Disaster Relief Form (1937) to explore the economic effects families experienced during the Great Depression. The students will use this activity to calculate total costs of this request and compare the costs over the next 8 decades by researching the prices of the equivalent items for that date. The students research and calculate the present day costs. In order to increase the rigor, the students will research the implementation of sales tax in the State of Alabama and include taxes in their total costs.'
