We explored the Nearpod for "Black Tuesday". BT was on October 29, 1929. The stock market collapsed. Banks tried to purchase blocks of shares in an attempt to patch the panic. 16 million stocks were traded. Gold became indispensable. $8.5 billion was out on loan. There was a major overproduction due to crop sharing and failing farms led to Black Tuesday, per Ben. People lost trust in the banks and began withdrawing gold. We are in for trouble since we are currently at 40% and the Great Depression was 11%.
I let Ben spend the rest of the period researching for his Stock Market Game. Today he gets to buy shares and track them for 5 business days.
