"So first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself..." Franklin Roosevelt, 1st Inaugural Speech, March 4th, 1933.

Hi All,

I have changed the requirements for the Unit 4 Upton Sinclair Project and made this into an essay on Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal Program to combat the Great Depression (Please see the announcement for this on my website.). Because I like to be helpful, I will be hosting a live class at 10 am MT on Tue, 12-13 in order to go over the essay topic and how to organize your essay. You can get to this class by clicking on the following link: http://tinyurl.com/Trehal-s-Office . Special Project Credit: Attendance in to this class counts as 50 points toward your Special Project Assignment for this unit. This is actually an easy essay to write and I promise that all who attend will have an absolutely clear picture of what to do on the essay and a solid plan of attack for its organization and composition. I hope to see you all in class on Tue.

If you were unable to attend the live version of this class you may still earn points toward your special project by watching the recording and answering the following question: What do I say people did when FDR passed away in 1945 as a result of his New Deal programs? To earn points just submit your answer for this question and the date you watched the recording into the Unit 4 Special Project Assignment. You can watch the recording by clicking the following link: View the Blackboard Collaborate recording.

Sincerely,

Trehal
