Period 6- Economics 120- Students have just finished presenting their ideas about how to address the Miramichi Economic Crisis. Students will research online to find an example of a community in North America that was experiencing an economic crisis.

Here are some points you may want to address: ·         Tell me about the community prior to their economic crisis. (What was it like, how many people lived there, quality of life.) ·         Identify the economic crisis variables- employment, business that closed etc. (in other words what caused it) ·         What was their plan to change things and how did that plan happen? ·         The result in the community after the economic plan.
