Advanced American History

Gilded Age State Legislature Project introduction:  The year is 1900 and you are a member of a specific interest group in the United States.  The state legislature in your state will address problems in society, but has limited resources and will fund only one problem area.  In your group, you will be responsible for persuading the state legislature for reform in one of the following areas:

City Problems
Women's Rights
Monopolies
Unsafe and Unsanitary Products
Labor Problems
Farm problems
Environmental Problems

You will be assigned a task based on your interest (speech, drama, music, art) to convince the legislature to address your problem.  If absent, see Mr. Brice or Mrs. Koehler ASAP to better understand your requirements.
