Great Depression and New Deal Class Activity

Class Activity

1. With a partner select one of the programs/people/events listed below. Please clear it with me first to make sure no one else has your info.
2. You will research information on this topic. Then, you will create 1-3 slides with information about the topic to present in class tomorrow.

Some tips on the slides:

•Please create in Google Docs (Presentation) and share as a collaborator with eshsapush@gmail.com

•Please make sure to put the title, your name, and period in the document title and email subject, if possible.

•Slides should have no more than 6 bullets apiece and no more than 4 graphics apiece

•Try to get the “who, what, where, when & why” of your program/item/event/person all crammed into your slide.

•Feel free to include any audio links, if you’d like.

You will be presenting these in class tomorrow. It is important to try and keep your presentation at 2-3 minutes.
