This PowerPoint Lesson contains thirteen slides that provide a deeper look at the Victory Gardens planted during World War II in the United States. It also includes an Easel Assessment for students to take. You may 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. 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.
