Wow. What a day. A Keynes vs. Hayek rap battle. I'd say today was even more entertaining than usual.

Because I know you'll want to watch again and again at home:

"Fear the Boom and Bust" (the actual youtube video)
PBS NewsHour, "Keynes vs. Hayek: Late Economists' Hip-Hop Legacy" (background video)

Today's PowerPoint (hi, I'm a link)

Homework:

Last night's homework was to read, "The Second New Deal" packet. Tonight's homework is to answer some questions about it. You'll find these questions on the very back of the packet (p. 226). Please complete 1-9 on a separate piece of notebook paper.

B Period:

In addition to the above homework. I'd also like you to make an outline and thesis to answer the question "How Successful was the New Deal?" Use the bullet points in the assignment description (directly under questions 1-9) as the different paragraphs outlined. We will use these thesis statements and outlines Monday to help prepare for the test!

Reminder:

Our unit test on the Great Depression and New Deal will be this coming Tuesday 2/9/10. If you need an extra copy, here is a link to the Google Doc:
