Group Presentation

Each group will research and present the economic history of two decades in United States history. While I realize that decades are an artificial cutoff point, you will find many events that influenced the economy in each ten-year period. Considerations should include Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, unemployment, inflation, international trade considerations, and currency valuation. Included in these are fiscal policy by the government and monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. Each student will speak for fifteen minutes on his/her portion of the group presentation, utilizing a well researched power point as an aid.. When the presentation is complete, I expect the class will have a good idea of what went on economically during that era. I attempt to grade students on an individual basis, but a cohesive group tends to improve all grades.

Remember, this is not a history assignment, but rather an economic assignment.

Decades and a few things that happened, but not everything that happened.
