Depressing 30's

This week we are going to look at the changes that brought about the Great Depression.

Read pages 232 to 239 in the textbook.

Create a many causes one effect chart to describe the causes of the Great Depression.  Minimum of 5 causes - one sentence explanation for each cause.

Create a one cause and many effects chart to describe the effects the Great Depression had on the people of America.  Minimum of 5 effects - one sentence explanation for each effect.

On Thursday and Friday we will compare the recovery plans of Hoover and Roosevelt.  Special emphasis will be placed on Roosevelt's New Deal and its effectiveness.  Students will participate in a SAC (Structured Academic Conflict) activity to determine the effectiveness of the New Deal.  It is important to be present for this activity.  If you are absent you will be required to research and analyze BOTH sides of the debate.

The activity is taken from http://sheg.stanford.edu

The graphic organizer should be used to gather evidence from both sides.
 



The documents are found on pages 2 - 9.
