Azuza Pacific University Great Depression Migrant Pickers Discussion

I'm working on a history discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

1. Visit the Online Archive of California (opens in new window), where you will find a collection of images of California history.
2. Search through the database, and find an image of California history that strikes you as particularly important or noteworthy.
   • Aim to select an image that has not been selected by your classmates.
   • Consider looking for an image from an event or movement that is of interest to you (if you are interested in women’s rights, look for an image of an early female California pioneer; if you are passionate about the environment, look for an image that depicts innovation in water flow or farming techniques).
3. Once you find an image, study that image and the history it represents
4. To get the most out of an image, you need to engage with the image and "read" it in a critical way. Consider the following:
   • Location
   • Date
   • Caption or other written description
   • The subject matter (portrait, building, event, etc.)
   • What is happening in the photo
   • The people, objects, signage, setting, time of day or year, etc.
   • Any questions you have after viewing the photos
