If we send the link we will still get points for them. After discussing things like this we had blog discussion. The Social Security Act provides benefits for people with disabilities, were in accidents and also provide for retirement benefits. Dorthea Lange became inspired for taking pictures during the Great Depression. She took the picture called the Migrant Mother. She mosty took pictures on the streets instead of in studios. The FSA (Farm Security Administration) wanted to help people so they took pictures of very depressed people.I learned that FDR had a mistress, which was not uncommon for Presidents back then. This was because the press was not as interested in these kind of things. When FDR got polio Eleanor Roosevelt became basically his mouth and ears. After he died Eleanor Roosevelt found out that the last person to see him was his mistress, which was lined up by his daughter.After this New Deal project is over it will result in a very large test. The questions will be like, what did the New Deal do to help farmers. When we present our projects we will go first with volunteers and then go from the top of the list to the bottom of the list. For the test we will not need to memorize every alphabet soup organization, but know some of them to help answer the questions.
