New Deal “Apps” Project
Directions: Work with your group to create an “App” out of 1 New Deal program. Your group will be assigned 1 program from the New Deal. Follow the steps below to create your “App” and place it on the “New Deal Phone.”
STEP 1: Your New Deal Program. Write the name of your assigned program below.
______
STEP 2: Research. Find the required information for your New Deal program and write it below.
a. What problem (of the Great Depression) was the program supposed to fix?
b. What service did the program provide?
c. Give 3 more interesting specific facts about the program.
STEP 3: Design. You will need 2 main pieces to your “App”: a) an icon, b) an advertisement.
a. ICON: Draw and color an icon to represent your “App.” For example, if the CCC is your New Deal program, you could draw an icon with trees in it (or something—I don’t know, be creative! J).
-Your icon should be on blank paper, colored in, and at least 4” x 4” in size.
-Below the icon, write the name of your program in big, bold, visible letters (ex: “Civilian Conservation Corps, CCC”)
b. ADVERTISEMENT: This should be in paragraph form, providing all the information from your “Research” step above (Step 2).
-Must tell the: problem the App fixes, service it provides, and 3 or more interesting, specific facts.
-Must be written creatively! Sell the App, don’t just list facts! Convince people to download it!
-Must be written on blank or lined paper, at least 6”x6” in size. Everyone should be able to read it!
STEP 4: “Download” to New Deal Phone. Attach your icon and advertisement to the “New Deal Phone” in the back of the room. The phone will have everyone’s project on it, looking like the main screen of a SmartPhone.
