1. Bell Ringer (10 min)
2. Lesson
Opening: (Chapter 6 in our textbook, not the same as the textbook mentioned
in the lesson) Introduce students to the topic of Progressivism by first
asking them to define the terms “Progressive” and “Progress,” then asking
students to list problems that emerged during the growth of industry and
cities during the late 19th century. Ask them to suggest possible solutions
to these problems, and begin introducing students to some of the Progressive
reforms. Show students various images that represent these problems/solutions
to help stimulate the discussion (Attachment A):
o 1-Urban problems; lack of
sanitation; children in the streets
o 2-Corrupt business practices such
as monopoly
o 3-Child labor; dangerous working
conditions
o 4-Pollution
o 5-Greed; political machines;
political corruption; graft
o 6-Women fighting for the right to vote
3. Complete Concept
Map of a designated section of the note-taking guide (Attachment C) using
your textbook (McGraw-Hill United States History pp. 159-180), online
resources, or class notes as appropriate. Teachers may want to guide students
through completing the notes, have students work in small groups, or
independently. (Assign each student a section of Attachment C).
