Hello, APUSHers:

Here are the assignments for the week. BE PREPARED for an exam on Chapters 34 and 35 on FRIDAY!

GEM ASSIGNMENT - CLICK HERE! Due Friday!

MONDAY NIGHT 4/12. Due: 4/13

1. MOVIE NIGHT. Choose ONE of the following, or do BOTH for GEM points!

The Unfinished Nation: Hard Times

Considers the devastating effects of the 1929 stock market crash on American economics, culture, and politics, beginning with the fateful events of “Black Tuesday.” Touching on early attempts at economic and agricultural reform, the program illustrates the adversities that plagued American farmers, especially in Oklahoma’s Dust Bowl. A new look at how the Depression impacted African American, Asian American, and Mexican American communities reveals the extreme discrimination and poverty faced by marginalized groups in a climate of intense hostility toward minorities. Herbert Hoover’s failed administration is profiled, as well as his crushing defeat by Franklin Roosevelt in the election of 1932. Historians and authors comment on Roosevelt’s first days in office and the aura of optimism that preceded the New Deal reforms.

The Unfinished Nation: A Chaos of Experimentation

Chronicles the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt from his first days in office until just before World War Two. This program focuses on Roosevelt’s New Deal programs and their impact on Americans. Beginning with an overview of Roosevelt’s political style, the presentation surveys his signature Fireside Chats and influential cabinet of advisors. The program discusses many of Roosevelt’s strategies to defeat the Depression in his “First Hundred Days"--agricultural programs, unemployment and public works programs, tax laws, the Social Security Act, and the National Labor Relations Act. Roosevelt’s critics, Francis Townsend, Father Charles Coughlin, Huey Long, and Alf Landon, are introduced. Also examined is the rise of labor unions and federations and the rights to collective bargaining and strikes.

2. Read the following Article "What Did the New Deal Accomplish?". After you read the article, post a FIFTY (50) word summary of the article. CLICK HERE for SAMPLE COMMENTS.
