=The Great Depression and the New Deal=

The Great Depression was a bad time for many workers and families. The Great Depression was the time when the economy totally crashed and there wasn’t anything anybody could do about it. When Fredrick D. Roosevelt became president he tried many different policies to help change the economy. Also the Great depression led to unemployment. Unemployment was when the assembly line required skilled workers and the workers who were unskilled got let go or got lower pay. Between 1929 and 1933 the unemployment rate went from 3 percent to 25 percent. People working as coal miners who earned $7 dollars a day fought for earning a dollar a day because of the Great Depression.

Some people didn't like some of the decisions of the New Deal because they thought it was giving too much power to the Government. As shown in Roosevelt's fireside chats, he shows that he has power. "... legislation promptly and patriotically passed by the Congress confirming my proclamation and broadening my powers so that it became possible in view of the requirement of time to extend the holiday and lift the ban of that holiday gradually in the days to come." The Supreme Court declared that the NRA was unconstitutional which posed a problem for Roosevelt. Roosevelt got rid of that problem by appointing new justices to the Supreme Court.

The new deal gave many people hope and it was effective. The unemployed got jobs and the economy was slowing going back to close to normal. Supporters of the new deal also said that the Roosevelt's approach eased problems. Rooselvet was a persuasive guy and with the help of his programs and people's support the Great Depression ceased. =Reflection=

In garage band I recorded my script then I put background music behind it. From there, I exported the podcast into a mp3 form. From the mp3 form I put it in i-movie and put pictures behind it. I matched my picture lengths according to what I was saying. Then I took of the burns effect to some of the pictures because some things got cut off. The hardest part of it was making the pictures in i-movie match the duration of my narration.
