Today we discussed the Great Depression as review.  After "brainstorming" we read a page or so from Kenneth Davis' Don't Know Much About History specifically the section "What was so great about the Great Depression?"  

HW-    1.  Finish reading the section from Davis' book
            2.  Using your text, answer the questions attached to Davis' reading (page numbers are 
                 indicated)
