=My Video=

Your video will go here. I'll show you how to do this Tuesday :)

=The Great Depression and the New Deal=


 * What opposition was there to Roosevelt's New Deal? What role did the Supreme Court play in balancing what America needed and what was Constitutionally allowed (see "Roosevelt and the New Deal" page 780)?
 * Re-read Legacy of the New Deal" pages 792-93. What perspectives are there on the effectiveness of the New Deal? How well did it work?

In the 1920’s everything was going great for Americans, but in the early 1930’s the stock market crashed. This lead to many problems, one of those problems was almost a quarter of the workforce was unemployed. Other problems the government was having at this time were the challenges of poverty and banks failing. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised he would help fight this and he did by creating the New Deal projects as soon as he got into office.

Although many thought that Roosevelt's New Deal helped but some people thought they weren't good and could damage us more. The Supreme Court was a major subject of interest and this is because FDR wanted to add three more justices to the supreme court to make the number of liberals and conservatives equal. The Supreme Court didn't approve and rejected it, but a few years later a conservative resigned and FDR immediately put a liberal in to fill that spot. There was more opposition to the New Deal, conservatives argued that that the New Deal policies were far to restricted to individual freedom.

There were many perspectives on the effectiveness of the New Deal some were good and others were bad. One of these opinions came from Herbert Hoover that opposed the new deal. Hoover argued that we should favor a return to laissez faire which means the government should interfere with the economy as little as possible. Another argument was in favor of the New Deal. Some thought that this eased many problems and it employed millions of jobless people, ended the banking crisis and improved work conditions.

=Reflection=

I think my video overall came out well for me not really knowing how to use Imovie. The process went from making the script to putting it into the video then editing the video. Some challenges were having too short of a script so I had to completely re-write it. I learned a lot about Imovie, I learned how to put a podcast into I movie, add music and how to use the Ken burns effect. Another hard thing to do in Imovie was get the timing between the pictures and me speaking perfect. Overall I think this project was a very good learning experience and will help me do better in the next Imovie project.
