In today's reading, you saw how Americans were asked to ration their use of many different commodities to benefit the war effort.

In your journal, write 1-2 paragraphs on how rationing would impact your life today. Pick one or two areas to explore how you use things in your daily life and how your life would be impacted.
As a reminder, here is a partial list of things that were rationed in America during World War II:
Sugar, Coffee, Oil, Gasoline, Tires, Butter, Cheese, Meats

Alternatively, if a member of your family was alive during World War II, ask them about their experiences with rationing and how it impacted their lives.
