After you have your diagram set up, let’s focus on the content

1. Chose a creative title, different from the one I have provided in

my example
2. Next, chose THREE important reasons why the Great Depression
happened. Make sure they are reasons we have talked about in
class, you should not need any outside sources for this
assignment.
3. Once you have chosen three reasons, chose 1 picture per reason
to show what your reason is/how was it represented in the media
during that time.
4. Move down to the next set of shapes (there should be two), and
give me 2 effects, ONE Personal effect of the Great Depression on
an individual during that time, and ONE nation-wide effect during
that time.
5. As we have learned, the Great Depression had a lot more than
three factors behind it to explain why it happened. Explain why
you chose the three reasons behind the stock market crash in 5-6
sentences.
