This inquiry leads students through an investigation of specific programs of the New Deal and the systemic inequities in the implementation of those programs. Further, students will start to develop an understanding on the changing role of the federal government and form a position on what that role ought to be. In addressing the compelling question “Does government intervention help Americans economically?” students will review the programs of the New Deal and the impact various programs had on a diverse group of Americans. Analyzing these document sets through formative tasks will stage the summative task of presenting an argument for or against the New Deal.
