 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * This unit goes into detail about the Great Depression and the New deal with a main focus between the years of 1929 and 1941. The students will begin with an intro into the lead up of the Depression and then explore the Depression by looking at the New Deal, bills proposed, new programs formed, the rise and fall of the economy, the Dust Bowl, the people at the time, and the Presidents. By the end of this unit the students will be able to understand the effects on not only the United States, but the World as well. They will understand how the Presidents (Hoover and FDR) handled the Depression. The students also will be able to explain if it could have been avoided (if possible) and what else they believe could have helped the situation. ||
