Mr. Williams reminded us the importance of selecting/using visuals for our quarter 3 projects that support our message and do not distract the audience away from our message. To reinforce this purpose, he showed us two video clips (one & two) from which we observed a portion of a story which we understood despite there being no dialogue.
We then returned to the groups of three that we started with last session. In these groups we shared our portion of the content with the other group members in a manner to ensure they understood (practicing presenting in a manner that is appropriate to our audience).

- How did the federal government respond to the economic collapse that began in 1929?
- How did ordinary Americans endure the hardships of the Great Depression?
- How did the expansion of government during the New Deal affect the nation?
We then presented to classmates in a traditional bracket. The two finalist groups presented before the whole class.
Links to these videos will be added to this post soon.
