=The Great Depression and the New Deal=

 The Great Depression caused heartbreak, devastation, and depression to everybody that was involved with it. In the Late 1920’s Early 1930’s the “Great Depression” swept over the nation causing much effect on everything that had been. Everything became a lot harder in life because of this. It all started when the Stock Market crashed. People that had been millionaires now had next to nothing. I can’t imagine how devastating that must have been. Its not like there was anything they could go to get the money back other than working. But the stock Market crashing had a domino effect on everything. Your average Americans struggled in daily life. Take for example the Migrant mother. She finally h ad a job for working in the fields to provide her family with enough to at least to eat, but due to the effects of the Great Depression she now had nothing and they had to go without sometimes. This is what the Great Depression did to many people. I find it gut wrenching to think about. If I were back in those times I would have done anything I could to help the ones that needed it like the Migrant Mother did.

One of the many questions that the New Deal brought up was what were the limits of the Supreme Court and President and what people should handle on their own. Roosevelt tried dealing with so many of the issues that were involved with the Great Depression. Some people felt this changed and helped get the nation out of the Great Depression, but some felt that it did no good and the people themselves got them out of the depression. The New Deal dealt with fireside chats, legislation passed, and many other things. People in the nation sometimes thought he took advantage of his position and was unconstitutional in doing the New Deal. On the flip side some disagreed and thought all that he did was just to help and recover from the hard times that were taking place across America.

Overall I feel that the New Deal was very effective. Take for example the fireside chats were so powerful and moving. Without those people wouldn’t have had confidence in their money and the banking crisis would have continued to get worse. He also did many other things like the TVA that just benefitted the nation. I feel that without Roosevelt trying to do all that he did the Great Depression would have been an even worse depression.

=Reflection=

During this project I learned many valuable things about both the new deal and technology. This project was fun in the manner of that we could be as creative as we wanted with our narrative. I found it frustrating the technology part of this project. I didn’t mind writing the narrative or even recording it but changing picture times and exporting the recording from Garageband to iMovie I just found complex. I am not that good at the technology part but after messing around with it I made something that I am proud of and learned a lot in the process.
