2 sites to talk about

I have decided that for right now I will choose to write about the great depression compared to what is going on in today’s economy. It kind of takes 2 of my topics and combines them into one. It is not that hard to find information about the great depression but I think I might have a little bit of a hard time finding facts about today.

I think this site would work because it has a lot of hard facts about what happened during the depression and how it started. Basically it talks about everything you wanted to know about during the depression up to Pearl Harbor. Also it is a good site to get some pictures off of with the sources from the pictures to.

I think that this would be a good site also because it has some information and then it has links to various other sites that have even more information. It has information that is not in the first site and also like activities that you could do to learn more about what the people in the 1930’s had to go thru.
http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2008-11-03-economy-depression-recession_N.htm
This is an article about today’s economy relating it to the great depression. I think this site would work because it is a reliable newspaper and they normally have all the facts and they also interview people about the topic they are talking about.

Three things I would like to learn more about.

Three things I would like to learn more about this semester would be today’s economy, the Great Depression, and World War II. I find history very informative and I believe that the U.S. needs to learn from their mistakes.
I don't know much about any of these topics really I just find them interesting and I would like to learn about them. I would like to know how today economy is will be with the new president, and how the people in the 1930's to 1940's got by. Also, I am interested to know more about Adolf Hitler and what he did to the Jews and the other people who had their life’s ended for no apparent reason.

Some questions I would have about each topic would be:

• What is exactly happening in today’s economy and how can people help it from getting any worse?
• How did people manage during the Great Depression?
• What was the reason behind taking innocent people from their homes and treating them the way they did?
