School: Clarke County High SchoolClarke County, VA

Time Estimated: 3.5 days (90 minuteclasses)

Overview: This mini unit will have the students explore the Progressives in US History.Who were the Progressives? Why did they gain power at this particular period inhistory? What were their goals and were they successful in achieving their goals?Students will come into this with the knowledge of US History that we have discussed sofar this year. Furthermore, they will have read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair before webegin the unit. We will use their reading of this novel as a basis for discussion andreference throughout this unit. As a result of this mini unit, students will be able toanalyze primary sources – a novel, census data, and political cartoons – and interpretthose sources to evaluate the Progressive movement. This mini unit is intended for myInternational Baccalaureate History of the Americas class. It is an advanced level class inwhich we focus not only on historical content but on analyzing documents to preparestudents for the IB test.

Historical Background: Although we speak of a Progressive movement, there wasnever one person, party, or issue that united all of the Progressives at a single moment inhistory. Instead, the Progressives should be seen as an umbrella organization underwhich many different reforms were carried out by many different people. That beingsaid, the Progressive movement is a broadly defined era in American history that soughtreforms in economics, politics, and society. The historical Progressive movement lastedfrom the mid 1890s to the mid 1910s.

In the area of politics, the Progressives sought to make our nation more democraticby putting more power in the hands of the people. This is evidenced by the passing of the17th amendment to the US Constitution. This amendment called for the direct election ofsenators. On the state level, many states such as California codified the idea of areferendum, initiative, and recall. Both of these allowed the will of the people tosupersede the often times corrupt legislatures that existed around the turn of the century.On the national level, the Progressives reached their height when Teddy Roosevelt waselected president. Roosevelt brought with him to Washington a desire and the energyneeded to bring about many reforms that other Progressives were pushing.

Social issues were another priority for the Progressives. Industrialization hadchanged America greatly over the last few generations. As a direct result ofindustrialization, many more people were moving from the country to the cities. Thiscreated many problems such as child labor, poor working conditions for many, and a gapbetween the rich and poor. The injustices of this time period were exposed bymuckraking journalists who printed exposes of true, but almost unbelievable, horrorstories of life for the poor. A classic example of this is Sinclair’s The Jungle. In terms ofsocial reforms, many women and women’s’ groups became active. Jane Addams

Page 2: Unit Title: The Progressives · 2020. 5. 7. · Major Understanding: The Progressives were reacting to a changing world around them. They attempted to deal with problems that America

established Hull House to help the transition of immigrants. Groups such as theWomen’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) grew in both and size and effectivenessduring this time period. Another powerful form of media that conveyed the harshconditions that workers faced was photography. The photos of Lewis Hine focusedprimarily on the horrors of child labor. Many of the social reforms that were achievedwere done so through legislation. The Progressives believed that government should helpto protect and even legislate morality.

Another important aspect in terms of social change was immigration. America,which has always been a land of immigrants, was changing. Before 1880, most of theimmigrants coming to America were skilled workers from Western Europe. They weremainly Protestant and had some experience in representative government. Thesecharacteristics allowed them to easily assimilate into American culture. On the otherhand, after 1880 most of the immigrants were from Southern and Eastern Europe, wereunskilled, practiced the Eastern Orthodox religion, and were not educated. The numberof Jews emigrating from Eastern Europe also increased. This culture gap led to the “newimmigrants” not assimilating into the new American society. In turn, this producedresentment towards many foreigners.

The Progressives were also concerned with the increasing gap of wealth andpoverty in the US. As more immigrants made their way to America, more Americansbegan to migrate toward the cities due to increased industrialization and economicopportunities. However, the reality of the situation was much different than the dreamsthey brought with them. The economic reforms of Progressivism manifested themselvesin laws such as the Sherman and Clayton Anti-trust Laws. Although they were ofvarying degrees of effectiveness, these laws laid the groundwork for the destruction ofboth trusts and monopolies. Teddy Roosevelt is perhaps best known as being thetrustbuster in American history. However, as with most of history, there is evidence tosupport the fact that he had little real affect in this area. Labor was an important aspect ofeconomics also. Again, Roosevelt played an important role in this. The nascent, but everincreasing labor movement received a boost when Roosevelt supported striking miners intheir labor negotiations of 1902. The coal mine owners were forced to negotiate whenRoosevelt threatened to operate the mines with federal troops to keep the supply of coalcoming.

Although the Progressive Movement accomplished many gains in terms ofeconomics, politics, and society, they were not able to solve all of the nation’s problems.During this time, more and more African Americans were becoming disenfranchised inthe south. Jim Crow laws were on the rise also. Ultimately, Progressivism shaped thepath that America was to follow in the 20th century, be it good or bad.

Major Understanding: The Progressives were reacting to a changing world aroundthem. They attempted to deal with problems that America faced as it moved from anagricultural to an industrialized society. Although their methods and ideas varied, thediverse group of people labeled Progressives changed America, and their impact is stillfelt today.

Lesson 1: Discussion of The Jungle and its Effects

Time Estimated: 1 day, 90 minutes

Objectives:Students will:

1. Identify and discuss themes contained in The Jungle

2. Empathize with characters, and their plight, found in The Jungle

3. Explain how The Jungle led to the passage of The Pure Food and Drug Act

4. Summarize the Pure Food and Drug Act.

Materials:

• Every student should have a copy, and read The Junglehttp://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5727 for chapter 9

• The Jungle Reading Quiz• Guided Questions for discussion of The Jungle• Essays on The Jungle• Excerpted version of Pure Food and Drug Act for students

http://www.ourdocuments.gov/index.php?flash=true&

Strategies:

1. Hand out the short reading quiz for The Jungle to make sure that all students haveread the book. Collect after they have finished.

2. Arrange desks so that students are sitting in a circular pattern around the room andthe teacher should sit in the circle also. Cut the questions into strips and ask forvolunteers to read a question. Then open up the floor to discussion about thequestions. (Note: I use a ball or something to pass around. The person that hasthat is the ONLY person who can talk, including the teacher.) Hopefully thediscussion will stay focused and in the direction you want; however, if that is notthe case, ask follow up questions that guide the students in the correct direction.

3. Near the end of the discussion it is especially important to make sure that thediscussion is headed in the right direction. It might require more activeparticipation by the teacher. If you haven’t touched the specifics of chapter 9,now is a good time. (A copy of this selection can be found at the History Matterswebsite listed above).

Page 7: Unit Title: The Progressives · 2020. 5. 7. · Major Understanding: The Progressives were reacting to a changing world around them. They attempted to deal with problems that America

4. After connecting The Jungle to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act, pass outa copy of the law to students (see the Excerpted Version). Have the studentsexamine the law as a primary source. Go through the steps ofNotice/Questions/Historical Background with them as a class. Focus on thelanguage of the law and try to decipher what the law is saying in plain English.This can be difficult for students depending on their vocabulary and readingcomprehension skills – remember it is written by lawyers.

5. I like to list the questions that the kids have on the board and use dictionaries tohelp us since most questions are concerning language. For help with the historicalbackground, see the History Matters website listed above also. After we havedeciphered what the law is saying, I give the students the following assignment:For each of the sections of the law that I have given them, they must find anexample of a product that Sinclair has described that violates that law. Forexample, Section 7 of the law describes adulterated foods and there are six waysthat food can be considered adulterated. The potted chicken description fits atleast three of the categories. Refer them specifically to chapter 9 of The Jungle tohelp them with this.

6. Homework: Finish finding the products if they have not. Have each studentanswer the following Essay Questions on The Jungle. (I normally give them outnow and have them due in about 1 week.)

Differentiation:

This lesson, though very concentrated with text, allows for all students to participate.The questions that are being discussed in the book group are very broad and call for anindividual's opinion. It also incorporates group discussion, individualized work, andhigher level thinking skills.

Lesson 2: Changing Demographics of US

Time Estimated: 1 day, 90 minutes

Objectives:Students will:

1. Analyze a photograph as a primary source

2. Compare and contrast “old” v. “new” immigration to US

3. Explain how the US’s demographics were changing by interpreting a chart

4. Describe problems that city dwellers faced during this time period

5. Acquire some background information on the Progressives by reading thetextbook.

Materials:

• Photographs by Lewis Hine athttp://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/childlabor/

• Population Information Slide (see attached)• Immigration Chart Notes (see attached)• Photo Analysis Guide (see attached)

Strategies:

1. Check for completion of homework assignment and then spend a few minutes goingover how students interpreted the Pure Food and Drug Act.

2. Explain that our country was changing a lot during this time period. It is changing intwo main ways: internally and externally. Put up the overhead of the PopulationInformation Slide that shows the changing demographics of the US. Discuss this andthen ask what problems and conditions this leads to in American cities. (Studentsshould be taking notes during this.)

3. The US is also changing due to external factors. Pass out the Immigration Table andexplain the changing nature of immigration. Using the Historical Background gothrough the chart and explain as the students fill it in.

4. All of this had an effect on our changing country. To illustrate this effect, first selectand show one of Hine’s photos. Ask students to describe what they see. Using the

Page 9: Unit Title: The Progressives · 2020. 5. 7. · Major Understanding: The Progressives were reacting to a changing world around them. They attempted to deal with problems that America

Photo Analysis Guide go thorough one photo as a class as a way to model the skill tothem. Then hand out copies of the Photo Analysis Guide and copies of Hine’s photosto pairs of students. Have them fill in their guide with information from theirpictures. (Depending on time, share some of their findings to illustrate the effects ofthis changing American system.)

5. Homework: read chapter 32 from text, Progressivism and Roosevelt, 1901 - 1912.

Differentiation:

This lesson uses direct instruction, visual learning from photographs, and analysis of achart. This allows for all learners needs to be met. Students work as pairs and there isclass discussion as well.

Lesson 3: The Progressives

Time Estimated: 1 day, 90 minutes

Objectives:Students will:

1. Describe Progressivism and its achievements

2. Evaluate the success of the Progressives

3. Analyze a political cartoon as a primary source

4. Create a political cartoon dealing with an issue of the Progressive Era.

Materials:

http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/art/puck/theme/Puck_Lampoons_the_Senate.jsp?Counter=21

• Political Cartoon Analysis sheet (see attached)• Political Cartoon Rubric (see attached)• Computer paper and colored pencils

Strategies:

1. Display the Lewis Hine photographs that the pairs analyzed at the end of last classand take responses from them as to what each picture tells us about that timeperiod.

2. Distribute the outline and have students take notes on Progressives. Use theHistorical Background for reference. Most of the information is likely to be in astandard textbook chapter that students can read as homework, so this should bemore of a discussion and clarification than just note taking. At the end of thispresent the following question to the students for reflection (and possible essay onthe test): Evaluate the Progressive Movement. What were its goals andaccomplishments? Was it successful? Be able to justify your response.

3. Put the political cartoon "Bosses of the Senate" onto the overhead. (either make anoverhead transparency or use the computer website to project it. Hand out thechart for analyzing a political cartoon and go through it as an example for theclass. (If need be or if time allows, you could then have the students analyze oneon their own to make sure they understand the skill. "Looking Backward" is good

Page 11: Unit Title: The Progressives · 2020. 5. 7. · Major Understanding: The Progressives were reacting to a changing world around them. They attempted to deal with problems that America

cartoon on immigration for this.)

4. Distribute the assignment that asks students to create a political cartoon of theirown dealing with an issue of importance during the Progressive Era. See attachedPolitical Cartoon Rubric for detailed directions. They are to work in pairs doingthis and will spend the first 30 minutes of next class presenting them to class.

5. Homework: Finish the political cartoon to turn in at the next class.

Differentiation:

This lesson has direct instruction, review of concepts read the night before, and pictureanalysis. The culminating activity of the lesson is to create your own political cartoon,which gives more creative students a chance to show their strengths.
