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.

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.

I think this would be a great topic considering our economy today. It interests me alot to see the difference of today's economy compared to the Great Depression. I would love to hear more about this topic, so hopefully this is the route you end up taking! :)
