I lectured on chapter 29 today. I orginally told the students they need to read chapter 30 this weekend and write a 1-2 sentence summary on each section of that chapter. I don't want them to do that anymore. Instead I want them to simply write 7 reactions to the Great Depression. The reactions need to cover the following 7 places and how they reacted to the Great Depression, either directly or indirectly: America, Western Europe, Spain (spanish civil war), Brazil, Argentina, Japan, and Soviet Union. Reactions only need to be 3-4 sentences, but detailed! This is due for a homework grade on Tuesday. Be ready for a reading quiz on all of chapter 30 on Tuesday!
