The Great Depression and Poverty

=My Video=

=The Great Depression and the New Deal= Write a few paragraphs about the Great Depression. This can be some of what is in your video, but also include an answer to the following questions:
 * The new deal allowed Americans to have relief for the jobless, provide jobs, promote economic recovery, and reform the economic system. The Supreme Court declared several New Deal measures to be unconstitutional, such as the NRA. Responding to this, Roosevelt appointed six new Supreme Court justices, relieving the overworked judges. Then it was realized FDR did this to gain majority of justices. The Congress declined his "court packing plan".
 * Supporters of the new deal pointed out that FDR's approach eased many problems and issues. It employed millions of jobless people, ended the banking crisis reformed stock markets, kept poor families from losing homes, and improved the working conditions. The New Deal arguably worked very well, It allowed America to get back on their feet form all the effects of the Great Depression. If we had a New Deal proposal today in America i think we would get back on our feet from our Recession, saying that, Not only did it help America, It taught us how to overcome these things in the future.

=Reflection= To make my project i went towards the digital storytelling path. I took images from the web about poverty and put text on the pictures. I used keynote to do all of the project. The main issue i had was when i would play my slide show it would zoom in and focus on odd parts of the picture and not on the center or the main idea of the photo.
