The Great Depression seeks to acquaint your students with the causes and results of the Depression. They will learn why the Depression began, what steps the government took to correct the economic catastrophe, how people coped with their financial struggles, and more through fictional journal entries, newspaper articles, letters, and editorials. The activities and questions following each article encourage students to think critically about the past, ponder why people made the choices they made, and what they may have done if faced with a similar situation. 1-56822-628-4
