The New Deal

Today we'll start by hearing what you wrote with your partners about FDR's First Inaugural Address.
We'll then set the context for the next couple of days by watching another section from The Century: Stormy Weather (25:14-41:25)
Next, with your partners, you'll focus on one specific New Deal program, law or agency.  Find your assigned topic here: The Living New Deal. After you read the short description of it, identify the program's goals and its effect/significance.
Then, you'll work to create a publicity poster supporting the efforts of your program or agency. You can do an image search for "New Deal propaganda posters" to see examples.
Your poster should indicate the title of your program and include symbols, images, slogans and/or other forms of communication in order to spread your message. On the back of your poster you should write your names and a bullet pointed list of relevant information about your topic and the meaning of your poster.
Posters can be drawn by hand or you may create an electronic version to be printed out.
