Two comprehensive curriculum guides are available to introduce students to key
topics of the Roosevelt era: the problems of migrant farmers during the New Deal and
African Americans in World War II. Using primary source documents, photographs,
and accompanied by study questions and other resources from the Franklin D. Roosevelt
Library archives, the guides are designed for use by teachers of civics, citizenship,
government, economics, geography, fine arts, history, writing and journalism. The
curriculum guides can be effectively used by students from 3rd to 12th grade.
The guides may be directly
downloaded to your computer. All documentary materials
and photographs are in the public domain and may be freely photocopied.
The Roosevelt Presidential Library's Pare Lorentz Film Center has produced a DVD
to introduce each curriculum guide. To receive a copy of the DVD please call
(800) FDR-VISIT and select prompt 4 or email
