=The Great Depression and the New Deal= From 1929-1941 America underwent the biggest economic crisis that we have ever seen even to this day. It left people without friends, family members, food, homes, and even clothes wear. This devastating crisis was called The Great Depression. The Great Depression was when there was an overproduction of manufactured goods that caused the stock market to crash.

Some people didn't like some of the decisions of the New Deal because they thought it was giving the government too much power. Roosevelt declares that he has power when he states that, “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” Supreme Court declared that the NRA was unconstitutional which started up a problem for Roosevelt. Roosevelt fixed that problem by appointing new justices for the Supreme Court. The New Deal was a big deal!

This New Deal made people pretty happy because it gave them the feeling of better things to come because it actually worked. People that were unemployed got jobs and the stock market started to go back to the way it was before. The New Deal gave people a new hope. It gave them their lives back and it was all because of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

=Reflection= When I was starting to make my video I thought about everything that I wanted to write about. When I got those topics then I researched them. Even though I basically knew everything about them I still wanted to see if there was anything that I was leaving out. When I started to write my script for my video I described The Great Depression. If someone is watching my video and they don’t know everything about The Great Depression then they won’t understand anything in the video. After I described my two topics it was basically already 4:00 minutes long. Next I needed to find some pictures so I looked them up in google. Most of the pictures that I found made me think more and more about how devastating The Great Depression actually was. Some of the challenges that I faced while making this video was matching the pictures to what I said. It took a long time just trying to get them to change to the next picture when I switched subjects in the recording. Overall in this project I learned more and more about The Great Depression just trying to explain parts of it to other people. The Great Depression has taught me how to me more appreciative about life and how lucky we really are.
