"Kit Kittredge - An American Girl" is set during the Great Depression and follows a community's struggles to survive the crisis. Kit is an ambitious and caring young girl who provides a positive role model. This class is the third in a series featuring your student's favorite American Girl characters!

In the first session of this course, students will learn about the causes of the Great Depression and what life was like during that period of time. Between classes, they will watch the Kit film and complete a learning guide for homework. In the second session, we will have a Socratic discussion about the film and review the student's work.
