  1. essential question: How can progressive reforms fix problems such as those seen in the Gilded Age?PART 1: INTRODUCTION AND MUCKRAKING

  2. When? related words: about 1890 to WWI (1917) Progressive Era description: the time of a movement for progress to correct the problems of the Gilded Age

  3. A muckraker is someone who exposes problems in society (term first emerges in Progressive Era) McClure’s was the most famous magazine for muckrakers to publish their investigative reports.

  4. consider: How does the video affect the way that you think about the food that you eat?

  5. What do you think would result if everyone in America was exposed to this video? This is a screenshot from a video shot by an undercover investigator from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals caught slaughterhouse workers allegedly viciously abusing pigs. Muckraking helps cause progressivism. Progressivism is a belief in social progress through increased efficiency and government regulation.

  6. the Social Gospel Movement (salvation through service to the poor) encouraged progressivism, asking “What would Jesus do?”

  7. essential question: How can progressive reforms fix problems such as those seen in the Gilded Age? PART 2: HOW REFORM OCCURS IN AMERICA

  8. How reform often occurs in the modern era: PROBLEM MUCKRAKING PROGRESSIVISM:MANY PEOPLE USING THEIR POWER AS CITIZENSand/or WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS USING THEIR TIME AND MONEY REFORM

  9. example using the video: PROBLEM = animal abuse MUCKRAKING = video PROGRESSIVISM = citizens voting for politicians who will pass a law to end animal abuse and/orwealthy/powerful individual(s) lobbying politicians to pass a law against animal abuse REFORM = law against animal abuse

  10. Now, let’s consider how Gilded Age problems led to muckraking, then progressivism, then actual reform.

  11. Complete the problem  muckraking  progressivism  reform chain for the issue on your page. Problem? Muckraking? Progressivism? Reform? Now we will organize according to what subject you had to create a poster for how the problem was addressed in America.

  12. URBAN SLUMS (How the Other Half Lives)

  13. URBAN SLUMS (settlement house movement)

  14. GOVERNMENT (Thomas Nast)

  15. GOVERNMENT (The Shame of the Cities)

  16. LABOR AND INDUSTRY (Ida Tarbell and Lewis Hine)

  17. LABOR AND INDUSTRY (Triangle Shirtwaist Fire)

  18. WOMEN (suffrage)

  19. ALCOHOL (prohibition)

  20. Because these are especially important, you need to make sure you define these Progressive Era reforms: prohibition (18th Amendment) = alcohol made illegal women’s suffrage (19th Amendment) = women voting

  21. Progressive Era Reforms Review One common mnemonic device (memory tool) is creating an acrostic. This is done by memorizing the first letter of each word in a phrase. Ideally, the first letters will form a real word or name, but may also form a nonsensical word. An example is below. Create two others based on the muckraking reformers of the Progressive Era. It is usually easiest to start by making a statement. example: Jacob Riis exposed tenements in How the Other Half Lives, read often.
