- Eroded land, eroded lives: Agriculture and The Grapes of Wrath (lesson 1 of 10)
- This description is of only the first lesson in the unit, to be taught before students read the novel; thus, its primary purpose is to put this novel in historical context. Toward that end, students will learn about the (unintentional) abuse of soil that allowed the Dust Bowl to be so devastating and extensive. They will also see photographs by Dorothea Lange and others depicting the wasted land and subsequent wasted dreams of thousands.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 11–12 English Language Arts and Social Studies)
- By Annie Henry.
