This Day In History...

Nice. It's always good to refresh my memory. What grade do you teach? Also, can you explain what the "New Deal" was? I learned about it, but some parts slip my mind. Was it basically just a set of reforms after the Great Depression?

I taught 6th grade last year but this year I'm looking for something in the high school level. I eventually wanna be a History professor at a University somewhere so I'm moving my way up.

You're exactly correct. The New Deal is a term given to a set of reforms set forward by FDR with the goal of relieving, reforming, and recovering the nations economic well-being after the Great Depression. If you can remember those three-R's then you can remember what it's all about: Relief, Reform, and Recover.
