The Big Picture: Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Tennessee Valley Authority in Photographs
The purpose of this activity is to allow students to put together all the puzzle pieces (photographs) and come up with the big picture (unifying theme)—in this case, the Tennessee Valley Authority. The activity works best as an introduction to the study of the TVA, within a larger unit on the New Deal in Tennessee. Even students with no prior knowledge of the TVA can learn about its different aspects and impacts through this activity. Students who have already learned about this topic can expand their knowledge through analyzing these photographs and by “piecing together” the puzzle.
