Today we went over people's life stories. Then we started talking about the Great Depression Project. The four questions we have to answer are:
1. What were the causes of the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression?
2. What impact did the stock market crash and Great Depression have on the lives of people in the United States?
3. What did the United States government do to help alleviate the problems the Great Depression brought to our country?(President Hoover and Roosevelt-New Deal(Goals/1st and 2nd)-unemployed, young people, factory workers/labor unions, farmers, elderly/poor, homeowners, artists/musicians, women/African-American/Native Americans, banks, stock market, energy
4. What long lasting impact did the Great Depression have on Shelby County, Iowa, the US and world?
Tomorrow we are going to get into groups and figure out what questions we want.
