FDR - New Deal - 4/3 HW

Consider your notes regarding the New Deal. List 2 things in your notebook...
1. Who supported it and who was against it? Reasoning?
2. List the effects it had on American society. Be sure to include all groups within the country (ie: labor [industry and agriculture], African-Americans, Native Americans, and other minorities, women, different social classes).
Once you have listed these in your notebook, answer the following:

3. Was the New Deal a success or a failure? Answer with an intro paragraph... follow the three steps to writing a good intro:
a. Reword the question if necessary
b. Brainstrom relevant information
c. Create a thesis statment that addresses the question head on

4. GENERAL NOTES FOR #4 -- Start to consider the extent to which FDR expanded the powers of the presidency.

What do you mean by "general notes for #4"?
Your wording is so confusing!

I think he means that the question is "Start to consider... of the presidency," and he wants us to write down some notes that we could use to answer that question. [Which, heads up guys, sounds like an essay question to me.]

The wording is really not confusing. All I asked was for you to begin notes on to what extent FDR expanded the powers of the president. I'm not sure how much more specific I could get. 2nd commenter has it right. No babies.

I didn't think it was confusing but I understand where everyone was coming from in class today. Maybe if you just left it "general notes" and then the question it wouldn't have been so confusing for some people?

Honestly it's in plain English. Stop griping and work.

Who was complaining? I was saying I can understand how some people in class today thought it was confusing. Why don't you calm down.

If you're confused you shouldn't not say something. Who cares if other people disagree? People should not be giving other people a hard time just because they were confused by something. Every one gets confused sometimes but not every one asks for clarification.

Children... clarification is always okay.

That's what I was saying with that last comment. Not everyone asks for it but they should if they are confused and if they do then other people shouldn't be giving people a hard time for it.
