Building Background • What is a drought? • What happens to plants during a drought? • What happens to the soil? • Think about the previous lesson, “Immigrant Children,” which dealt with many people who came to the United States to set up farms. • How do you think their farms fared during the severe drought of the 1930s? • What do you think would happen if massive windstorms swept across dry, dusty land suffering from a drought?
Background Information • The word drought comes from an Old English word that means “to dry up.” • There were many droughts throughout our country’s history – in the 1730s, 1820s, and 1960, but none of them lasted as long or was as severe as the 1930s drought. • About two and a half million people left the Great Plains during the Dust Bowl periods. But three out of four farms in the Dust Bowl region decided to stay on their farms instead of moving. • The drought finally ended In the fall of 1939, when it rained for two days. In the 1940s, rainfall returned to normal levels, and farmers once again were able to grow an abundance of crops.

Inquiry Process day 2 Collecting Facts and Ideas Organize your notes in logical sequence Depending on the topic, you might want to order the information you have gathered chronologically. Or use a concept map.
WritingRevising day 2 The way you organize information is important. You should place the paragraph that tells about your opinion at or near the end of the report so readers can first learn what the book is about, and then find out what the writer of the book review thinks of it. Most book reviews follow the order the author of the book uses. This makes it easier for readers to follow the main events or ideas presented in the book. Review the order of your paragraphs to make sure the way you are organized makes sense.
