  1. The dust bowl By t-dogg

  2. The cause • Many people think that the dust bowl was a natural disaster, but it could have been avoided. The dust bowl was caused by farmers planting wheat over and over again. This happened ‘cause of wheat prices increasing from $0.40 to $6.00 a bushel. This was unheard of at that time.

  3. Connections • I connected this with the goose that laid the golden egg. In this story a goose lays a golden egg, a guy kills the goose & tries to pull more eggs out but they didn’t develop yet. Yet another story is a wonderful life, the bank has a run on and everybody wants all of there money back.

  4. The happening • The cloud of dust was 1 mile high and 1,000 ft. wide. It started out in the corners of Texas, new Mexico, Kansas, Okalahoma, & Colorado but spread all the way to the pacific ocean.

  5. preventing • The way of preventing another dust bowl farmers are now planting different crops each year, like corn in 2009 and zucchini in 2010
