Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform.

What concepts or procedures are being explained or demonstrated in this lesson object?

What are the major events of the 1920’s and how do they connect with other events in history?

What was your experience, both successes and challenges, using this lesson object with your students?

The students were very engaged in the lesson. It was interesting to see how upset both and girls were when I was only going to count the boy votes for recess. The students liked having both primary and secondary sources to help them learn about the topic.  All though all three video clips were found separately, they tied together perfectly.  It is important for the teacher to have a basic understanding of the stock market and how it crashed in order to explain it to the students. Fourth Graders have very little background knowledge, if any at all on this topic.  Student responses to the assessment question were supported with specific details.
