Economic crisis?
 
Hello Friends! My 16 year old students have asked what happened in the 2008 finnancial crisis so I would like to make a lesson on it. I have checked on the internet but its all very in depth, does anyone know where I can find a basic summary?
 
Many thanks

Try the BBC website. They don �t usually delete old pages, and there �s tons of information about the crisis, some of it in �summary � form. You �ll need to use the search engine at the top of the �news � page to find exactly what you want, and you �ll need time to sort out exactly what you want...

I did it for 10 minutes and found these:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=2008+financial+crisis&video=on&audio=on&text=on&sort=reversedate&start_day=11&start_month=12&start_year=2008&end_day=28&end_month=02&end_year=2009

This may be of interest

...and this has all the information you need - click on the blue arrows on top of the graph to find out more
