In this lesson plan, students will explore five different sets of data from the Canada Year Book 1937 to reach conclusions about the effects of the worldwide depression on Canadians. After working in small groups, students will recapitulate some of the indicators of the Great Depression with the class. The students will create either a cartoon or letter to the editor of a newspaper describing the problems and recommending a way out.
