This WebQuest is centered on the United States Farm Security Administration’s (FSA) Great Depression era photographers. In this WebQuest you will learn about the history of what was happening in the United States during this time, the creation of the FSA project, early documentary photography, and several of the FSA’s famous photographers and their works. You will reflect upon what you have learned by participating in a variety of activities including reflective writing, writing a biography, creating a PowerPoint presentation or slide show, making a poster, and even producing your own photographs in the style of your chosen FSA photographer.

Let's begin by exploring some of the major events of the 1930's-1940's listed on the right. >
