Add this presentation to your unit on the Great Depression as a strong informational supplement. With clear learning objectives, details on the 1929 stock market crash, and the effects of the Great Depression (though it's spelled "affects"), this resource could easily carry a long-term unit on this time period. Some slides appear crowded with information and pictures, but you could pare them down at your discretion.
