Crash!!

Here is the video I made of stock market activity "Crash!" that we did in class. It's accompanied by a great song from the 1920's.

That was great! haha and it was way more fun than class normally is. that was a good way to show how drastically people's money was affected by the great depression, because if you took a card than you knew you had no chance to get all the points.

This was really fun! It was probably my favorite activity so far this year. It helped me understand how easy it was for people in the 1920's to lose their fortune and go into debt. However I still think that Ice Box Industry went down! I even looked it up! http://gospeleer.com/2009/06/iceboxes-refrigerators-victrolas-and-ipods/ All the information about the iceboxes is in Part 1.

I will look into that info, Kate. Thanks for doing the research!

I really enjoyed this game, even though i crashed on the first question. i really enjoyed learning about how easy it was for them to lose all their money in the stocks. This was one of the best activities!
