Today we were in the Blenheim computer lab. We played a game called Lemonade Stand, and we did a simulation of the Stock Market Crash of 1929. We will take up the discussion points from the Stock Market Simulation tomorrow in class. Please make sure that you bring your A History of the Twentieth Century textbooks tomorrow. If you would like to try another Lemonade Game (it's a bit more challenging), try this version!
