=The Great Depression and the New Deal= The Great Depression in the 1920’s was hard on everyone, people were out of jobs,out of money, places to live, drink and eat. Unemployment wasn’t offered, jobs were hard to find if any. Kids were starved and had no where safe and warm to sleep at night. Some lived in their own wagons, and had a big family. Without money life was hard to keep in order for everyone. Very little people had jobs, and if they did, they didn’t make very much. They had to migrate to a new place for jobs, and homes. It was not a good time for anyone during the Great Depression. Roosevelt’s New Deal was a big deal, to the people. All they wanted was hope, and a life, and something better for them and their families. Everyone thought that thats what they needed. So Roosevelt won the election. The people were encouraged by his New Deal and the confidence he had for his people. As soon as he went into office, he closed all the banks, hoping it will stop bank failures. Which then did fireside chats to all the people through the radio’s. Their were three goals to this,(1) relief for the jobless, (2) economic recovery (3) reforms to prevent future depressions. Some helped unemployment by giving them financial assistance. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration granted funs to states so they could reopen places and companies, they could get back on their feet again. They also Employed people who have no jobs.Even if they did something little like work in the parks and building and restoring worn down buildings. Then TVA was brought into the favor, which helped. Things started to look up, Social security was offered, and of course people couldn’t deny. People were starting to get everything back. Not so much for the poor, but better then what it used to be. Mining jobs were opened up, and taught and taught for the skills to be upgrades which had helped a lot. FDR’s approach had eased a lot of problems. Employed many who hadn’t had one, stopped banking crises, reformed the stock market, saved poor families and people, and improved working conditions. And a big one, for many it restored faith in the government.

=Reflection= This project I definitely learned something, it took a lot of time to get things figured out. We had an opportunity to be creative and explorer something new for this project. I had troubles figuring how things worked because I am so used to garage band. I normally use garage band instead. It took me a long time learn how to record and export that into IMovie. Although everything turned out in the end, it took some talent and concentration. I learned more about the Great Depression and technology through this project altogether. But I did think it was okay and a good resource to express out knowledge.
