We discussed the causes of the Great Depression for the first part of class. We then looked at a few videos about how our minds can be troubled or tricked by what we see. We watched these videos to reinforce the importance of careful creation of our quarter 3 projects.
With the discussion about the projects we even drew comparisons between how producers of a number of consumer products in the late 1920's neglected to consider their consumers AND how we need to avoid making that mistake on our projects. We need to carefully consider our audience so we can be certain that our content will be effectively consumed.
We finished the day preparing for an in class activity. We will be working in groups of three. Each person needs to carefully consider how the other two members could best "consume" information. We each are responsible for a single chapter of content about the depression. On Thursday we will need to share our chapter with our other two group members in a manner that allows them to effectively understand the content.
We used slides 29-31 for todays class
This activity is meant to reinforce the expectation of the quarter 3 project that we should be working on at home.
