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.
