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 2-Corrupt business practices such as monopoly 

o 3-Child labor; dangerous working conditions 

o 4-Pollution
