FDR's New Deal Teacher Pass
Make history feel like new.
The New Deal isn't exactly new anymore. It's older than Animal Farm, Death of a Salesman, and even Pat the Bunny. But like all of those books (especially Pat the Bunny), it's still relevant to all our lives. This teaching guide will help you prove that to your students.
In this guide you will find
- modern resources that compare and contrast FDR with BHO (Barack Hussein Obama).
- links to related history like the Great Depression and Labor Unions.
- activities analyzing the statistics, symbols, and documents of the time.
Make the New Deal seem new again with our help.
