|| ====The title of this book is "Bud, Not Buddy." Do you have one of those names that make some people want to refer to you as something else? Kelly has always been Kel, whether I was friendly with some people or not. I have a sister whose name is Hope that many called, HopE (with a long e). She hates that! Charles inevitably becomes Charlie. William becomes Bill...don't ask me! ==== ====Our main character will repeatedly make it clear that his name is BUD. He does not want to be called Buddy! For that reason, we will check out the ** [|What's in a name?] ** website. This group has turned our names into a mathematical equation that they believe can help predict what kind of person a child will become based on the name they are given. I want you to search for your name and take notes on the descriptive words this site uses to describe you. Put these in a T-chart labeled, agree/disagree as you record them. We will discuss this later. Finally, before you leave, look up "Bud." Make note on a seperate sheet of paper what kind of person our main character should be based on this philosophy. As we read the text, you will find evidence to support or refute these characteristics. These assignments will be turned in to your teacher. ====

Afterward:
====It is also important to note that this book is set in the 1930s during the Great Depression. During this time period, our history is full of many criminals who had an alias. Sometimes they just have a nickname. Even today, many people use a second name or a nickname. For example, writers often have a "pen name" or pseudonym. ====

Choose one of the following two topics to write about for our class wiki:
|| Great Depression Project -Compare/contrast the Great Depression to the economic problems of today. You should include statistics and facts from both eras and discuss the situation from the perspective of the leaders or the general population. || ** Domanique ** -Based on what you know of this time period, construct a game board with pieces that would help someone who had never heard about the Great Depression learn about it. Be able to explain your choices. || ** Haylei L **
 * ====Invent a name for yourself or use your real nickname. Write a story about how you got the name. ====
 * ====Bud didn't want to be called Buddy. Do you have a nickname that people call you that you hate? If so, write about your feelings about the name. ==== ||
 * ** Knowledge: **Create an artifact kit about the Great Depression. You should have a theme and focus. Each of the items should have a description that also explains its importance. Work with your group to create a presentation for their display. || ** Makayla B **
 * Cody B **
 * Hunter G ** ||
 * ** Comprehension: **Chart the alphabet of agencies of the Depression era. Give the name of the agency; the date it was established, its purpose, and its resolution or status today (whether it still exists, whether it merged with another agency, etc.). || ** Ethan D **
 * Maranda D **
 * Allen B ** ||
 * ** Application: **Despite both the Depression and the Dustbowl in the Southwest, there were some enjoyable activities: the movies, the comics, the big bands, and radio’s Golden Era. Find 3 examples of each that illustrate different aspects of life in the Thirties. Be able to explain the significance or impact of each.

 * ** Analysis: **<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 16px;">Contrast the effects of the Depression on various segments of society – for example, city business owners, labor workers, southern tenant farmers, Oklahoma sharecroppers, and California migrant workers. Construct a presentation to share your information. || ** Brooke G **

 * ** Synthesis: **<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 16px;">Hoover’s response to the Depression was inadequate at best, and he was widely criticized for his refusal to establish direct federal aid. Yet Roosevelt’s establishment of a national program has been condemned by those who say government aid destroys initiative and promotes helplessness. Working with one or two other solutions that might have been tried, create two posters or brochures that promote your ideas.

 * ** Evaluation: **<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 16px;">Americans had no lack of heroes during this era. Speculate on why hard times would produce so many heroes. With research, create a list of people of this time period who might be thought of in this way. Each of you should choose a different one that you think might have had the most influence on you. Give solid reasons for your choice in a presentation. || ** Brooke J **
