Victory Gardens in World War II: Teaching Bundle * U.S. History *
By Christa Nonnemaker
This bundle contains four teaching resources about the Victory Gardens in World War II. Each of these complement one another but can also be used independently.
PowerPoint Mini-Lesson - This mini-lesson contains eleven slides that provide a deeper look at the Victory Gardens planted during World War II in the United States. Use it to teach F2F or provide as an independent supplemental learning resource. The slides contain fascinating and engaging visuals including posters as well as instructions and text from actual pamphlets produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture during the war. Victory Gardens provided essential fruits and vegetables to American citizens. It was a wholly volunteer effort and involved youth through adults and became a very successful endeavor during a time of great need! This includes the PowerPoint version as the well as the PDF. In the free version, only the PDF is available.
Primary Source Analysis and DBQs - This 16 page primary source analysis activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into life on the home front in the United States. They will determine why the Victory Gardens were so important to the war effort. Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include pamphlet excerpts, photographs and posters. Each page of primary sources includes questions. Two DBQ prompts are also included. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students.
Class Activities - There are two class activities available in this 9 page teaching resource. Your students will become immersed in the home front issues of World War II with these two activities.
Activity 1 - Create a Propaganda Poster related to Victory Gardens
Students will review posters from World War II and then create their own using similar elements to what was used then in terms of design, message and purpose.
Activity 2 - Participate in 5 Minute Simulations
Students will take on various roles in the effort to organize community Victory Gardens. They will have a chance to be a leader, community member, representative of the local Victory Garden Committee or a garden/hardware store owner.
Have students study the primary source documents from pamphlets published by the US Department of Agriculture as well as photographs from World War II to enhance their understanding prior to completing either activity.
Reading Assignment and Worksheet
