Students will understand/identify the causes of the 2007 U.S. Recession.  \n2.) Students will understand/identify the cycles of expansion & contraction within the U.S. economy and be able to compare using the business cycle as a model.  \n3.) Students will use the data collected to make predictions for the future recession cycles of our  \nU.S. economy.  \nAssignments  \nPart One  \n1.) Students will create a one-page summary/overview (use a Newspaper/Magazine Article Template from Google Templates or Templates from Google Docs) of the recession that began in December 2007. Identify the causes of the recession and the effects it had on the U.S. economy. Include a brief background. You may use an economic graph or chart to illustrate (no more than three can be used) to help illustrate your work.  \n2.) Students will create a second one-page summary/overview of a bolded recession from the list below (your choice). Again, use a Newspaper Template/Magazine Article Template from Google Templates or Templates from Google Docs to create. Identify the causes of the recession and the effects it had on the U.S. economy. You may use an economic graph or chart to illustrate (no more than three can be used) to help illustrate your work.  \nPart Two  \n1.) Write a two page paper comparing & analyzing the two recessions from Part One.  \na. Point out the similarities & differences within the economy at the time. Are there trends with recessions?  \nb. Identify the causes and how deeply it affected society. (ex. unemployment & consumer spending)  \nc. Make a prediction for what we might encounter in the future based on your research.  \nPart Three  \n1.) Define the “Key Terms”,“Economic Theories” and the “Recession Specific Terms” from the second page of this document. The terms can be used to help you write the assignments for Parts 1 & 2.  \nWHY ARE WE DOING THIS? The age-old saying: “To understand the future, we must study the past.”  \n13 Recessions (according to NBER – National Bureau of Economic Research) since the Great Depression.  \n1.) 1937  \n2.) 1945  \n3.) 1948-1949  \n4.) 1953-1954  \n5.) 1957-1958  \n6.) 1960-1961  \n7.) 1969-1970  \n8.) 1973-1975 (16 months in duration)  \n9.) 1980-1981 (6 months in duration)  \n10.) 1990-1991 (8 months in duration)  \n11.) 2001 (8 months in duration)  \n12.) 2007 (18 months in duration)  \n13.) 2020 (pandemic recession, shortest on record at two months: March & April 2020)  \n*There have been 33 total recessions in the U.
