Recession, Depression, and the American Struggle

This project will examine different aspects of our fluctuating economy. We will begin by defining economy and economics. As we work through the project, the students will buy and sell stocks, research periods of recession and depression, read The Great Gatsby, write and create a informative handbook that focuses on helpful and instructional information on a variety of economic issues such as credit cards, debit cards, investing, banking, and saving.
