=Introduction= It is 2028 and the Smithsonian American History Museum is looking to create a new exhibit for the upcoming century past the Great Depression. They have little time but have been considering adding a video to the exhibit. The museum director has been asking historians that she knew well if they would be up to reenacting parts of this time period to be recorded and put on display. They all turned her down saying that as old fashioned historians, they would have no part in producing this video for the museum. While over hearing some college students pretending to be FDR and reciting parts of his campaign including his idea for the New Deal, the museum director decided that she would put up a request for museum goers to create this video.

They would have to create a movie in teams to be put on display in the museum to provide a visual/auditory presence to the new exhibit.

You will have to study the role of officials during that time period so that you and your group can represent them in your project. If you are selected your group’s iMovie will be featured in the exhibit of the century past the Depression and New Deal.

=Conclusion= After taking on the role of officials we can better understand why they make the decisions that they do. By working on
