Family During the Great Depression Activity – Core Competenices

The activity we did with the class was there was a town with a very wealthy family that could dictate how and what happened to a lot of the other families. An example of how they could dictate what happened was they got rid of their gardener and that decrease another families monthly income so then they had to change up their ways of living because they were no longer making as much money. The core competency this related to was critical thinking for me because I was given the family with a lot of money and power, and I could dictate what happened to the other families. I would take out what I didn’t think was important to my family but it was important to another family so I would have to think about what I was doing first.
