This weeks plan:
Understand the pain of the 1930s, the repercussions around the world and evaluate the different government responses from Canada & the USA. Under Economic materials, there are some more videos about what life was like in the 1930s, there is also a powerpoint on how to read political cartoons, and there are also political cartoons. This week we will be doing two readings: 1. One from the package that was sent home before spring break: Roosevelt & the New Deal: an excerpt from a history text, page 116-120 2. The Pdf is from the Gr 10 text book, posted on the economic materials page, directly under the video and before the political cartoons. It is seven pages in total, but page 5 is the most critical. Please take notes with the essential questions below in mind. Essential Questions: (discussions to begin Wednesday) 1. What are the problems facing the North American economies? 2. How does Canada respond? How does the USA respond? 3. What are some examples of Keynesian policies put into action? Do they work? 4. Does Keynes' theories solve the Great Depression?
