I love it how you incorporated the roll of film in your pictures. Nice effect!

I thought your presentation on the great depression was excellent. You are easy to follow and you speak clearly. The pace of the slide show and commentary was just right. The slow depressing background music fit the topic and pictures you are presenting. The length of the show was perfect and from what I know of the depression, your information was correct and to the point.

You spoke clearly and incorporated great primary sources (photos) so effectively. This is exactly what I would have loved as a student. The photos of really people make it more relatable. A storyboard was clearly created and effectively followed.

That was a really good video. It was well planned out. I thought you used very appropriate bed music. This should be used in a classroom.

Great job on the video. The words moved fluently with the video and was very informational.

I really enjoyed this presentation. All the slides transitioned well and the music was perfect for the this time period in American history. Very well done.

Very well made video. The music was especially fitting. I can easily see this being used in a classroom setting. My only potential problem is that the very last line might be construed as politically biased. You might be able to rephrase it so that it is more ambiguous and even have it such that it causes the students to think about it carefully and substantiate their position, promoting higher level thinking skills. For example, if you asked "Should the government get involved like that? Why or why not?" That way advocates of federal power or state power have to come up with their own reasoning. Excellent work in any case.

This video really makes the view think. The audio was clear and worked well with the images. The video stayed on task and it would be a great teaching tool to use in your classroom one day.
