This Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides students with a close reading opportunity about the Victory Gardens planted in the United States during World War II. The Victory Gardens helped to feed the nation's people when food was rationed and in short supply.

You may use it to teach F2F or provide as an independent supplemental learning resource. Students might be surprised to find out that there were even Victory Gardens in the Japanese-American internment camps. 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.

If you like World War II historical fiction, I have written a book called Hearts of War about a Nisei soldier who served in the Military Intelligence Service and a woman who served in the Women Army Corps. In writing this book, I wanted to bring an unknown aspect of history to light. Available on Amazon or Kindle and I appreciate any reviews!
