Economics has been the motivation and impact behind many moments in America’s history. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has written lesson plans using primary resources and active learning to engage students in learning about the economics behind our history. Students analyze economic data, role-play, and apply their knowledge to create economic models. Historical events such as the Great Depression, Hamilton’s National Bank, and The United States in WWII are three of the historical topics covered in this session to highlight the lessons written on each topic. Teachers will participate in a simulation of one of the lessons and receive free copies of all three.
