Great Depression

Each day when the students come into class they complete the following tasks...

-collect pay
-buy groceries
-pay bills
-complete chance card
-read newspaper, answer questions, write in journal

Today (1929) the stock market crashed. Most students were still able to pay their bills and buy groceries, however I think the next few days may be more difficult. I did have a few students who bought up plenty of stock today, but most of these students are single with no family so their bills are much less. (Tomorrow the great depression will start to affect employment.)
