Economy Project
We have studied how economy works within our country and around the world. Now you will use what you know to research how this has changed over the years. Each of you will act as a diplomat from a specific period in time to research trading partners with the United States
Questions to Answer
· Who was the United States trading with during this time period?
· What were the main imports and exports for the United States during this time?
· Describe the economic growth of the United States during this time period.
You may use both print resources as well as computer resources to locate the answers to these questions. Record all your information and cite your resources.
If your time period is a time prior to the formation of the United States, answer the questions using the colonies or territories that existed at that time.
Project Creation/Presentation
You will present your final project to the class that should take approximately 5 minutes. You may use the following formats:
· Create a prezi including all of the required information
· Create a tri-fold board with visual aids of all required information
· Create a power-point presentation
· Contact me approval of additional presentation formats
