From Boom to Bust - The Great Depression
This week March 16-20 students will be looking at the weaknesses in the economy of the U.S. during the 1920's, and gaining an understanding as to how our system collapsed in the 1930's. We will make comparisons to the Great Recession of 2008, and students will also learn of government action in both cases to stop the economic downturn.

Here is an example I have created
The story of Nathaniel G. Raley
This is the story of Nathaniel G. Raley, a WWII fighter pilot. Raley was in Alabama when he heard about Pearl Harbor, and due to patriotism, he wanted to enlist. He also wanted to fly airplanes, fighter planes specifically. After training in California and in the Southwest, he was a P-38 fighter pilot. He completed training in 1943, and was shipped off to Africa, where he was a part of a fighter squadron. His first mission was August 19th 1943, he escorted some B-17s on a bombing run in Italy. He was shot at and saw bombers getting shot from the sky, with pilots jumping out with parachutes. He flew a P-38 Lightning, which consisted of only the pilot. He liked being alone in the plane. Living in Africa there were primitive conditions, no showers, just a sponge to clean yourself with after you filled you helmet with water. In December of 1943 Raley escorted the plane of President Roosevelt and General Eisenhower. He did not know it at the time, but he had been instructed that important people were on board, and that they we to not let the plane be shot down, even if it meant ramming the enemy planes. Raley remembered when his friend was shot down on his 44th mission, so it made Raley nervous about his 44th mission, but he made it. In February of 1944, Lieutenant Raley was shot by anti-air ground fire by the enemy over the Italy. He was captured, and was almost executed, but a German Non-commissioned officer stopped the men from killing him. He was taken to a doctor and patched up. He talked to German soldiers about why he was fighting and the Germans told him that he should be fighting the Russians, not them. He was also imprisoned with some Germans that tried to desert and go back to Germany. He was then taken to a German P.O.W. camp, where he was interrogated. He was eventually sent to POW camp #1 in Barth, Germany. He stayed there until when in April of 1945 the German soldiers left the camp. The Russians were coming, and the Germans did not want to be around when they arrived. Lt. Raley saw the Russians commit horrific acts of cruelty to German men, women and children. Entire families of soldiers were killed, and many of the women were raped. Eventually, the U.S. sent airplanes to take them home, which Lt. Nathaniel finally got to return to Alabama on June 21st, 1945. Nathaniel Raley went to college, joined the air force, got married but continued to suffer from nightmares about his time in the war. He said there wasn’t enough gold in Fort Know for him to relive the experience again, but he was glad he did it.
