1. Topic: Great Depression

2. Why you chose it: This subject has always intruiged me, and I would like to know more.

3. What you already know about your topic: The Great Depression began with the Stock Market Crash in 1929. This day was also known as Black Tuesday. The Great Depression lasted throughout the majority of the 1930s. Many people lost their jobs and homes. Soup kitchens handed out bread and soup for homeless families. Herbert Hoover was the president during the first part of the Great Depression, but soon Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president. Large areas with poorly built shacks of homeless people were called Hoovervilles. President Roosevelt created the New Deal. World War II helped our country's economy because jobs were created. People were needed to fight, build planes, and more.
