Reminder:  Bring a binder and dividers to class tomorrow!


American Studies

We are culminating our study of the Gilded Age this week with an examination of the progressive movement.  Largely occurring between 1890 and 1920, progressives fought for a variety of reforms, but all felt that government should be more active and that social problems were susceptible to legislation.  In class today, we examined the actions of muckrakers, Jane Addams, Bob LaFollette, and Teddy Roosevelt.


Assignment:  Read text 212-219.  Answer questions 1,4,5,6.  Gilded Age Exam this Thursday.
