  1. Do Now • Based on our lesson from yesterday, what were the major political issues and figures of the Populist era?

  2. Wizard of Oz – Populism Connection

  3. Video Introduction • What are the characters seen in the video? • How might these characters be related to Populism?

  4. Activity Using the following characters and landmarks from The Wizard of Oz, determine how they might symbolize information about the Populist movement. • Scarecrow • Tin Man • Lion • Dorothy’s silver slippers • Yellow-brick road • Wicked Witch of the East/West • The Wizard

  5. I. Wizard of Oz – Populist Connection • Symbolizes Bimetallism • In the original book: • yellow brick road: gold • Traveled the road with silver slippers • In 1939, the movie changed the silver slippers into ruby slippers. • Dorothy leads: • Scarecrow: Farmers • Tin Woodman: Workers • Cowardly Lion: Politicians • Goal is to see the Wizard (President) in Oz (Oz. = Ounce) • Munchkins: the “little” people • Wicked Witch of the West: Giant Corporations (the enemy) • Dorothy defeats the Witch: Progressives tried to defeat the Corporations

  6. I. Cultural Changes Goal 7.04: Examine the impact of technological changes on economic, social, and cultural life in the United States.

  7. B. Culture Shift • New technology created national trends in culture as opposed to regional ones. • Nationally wear the same clothes, buy the same products • Kodak camera – first time cameras could be owned and operated by the average person. • Movie camera – new invention, people started watching movies and wanting to be like movie stars. • Mail order catalogs – people could buy products from stores in far away cities, allowing them to keep up with the trends.

  8. D. Transportation Innovation • Wright Brothers – made the first flight in Kitty Hawk, NC on December 17, 1903 • Captured interest of public and culture, commercial travel began in 1926 • Henry Ford– began the use of the assembly line. • Mass-produced cars – the Model T • Had employees stay in one spot while the assembly line moves up the parts. • Allowed him to keep his cars cheap so many people would be able to now buy a car.

  9. Independent Practice • Imagine you operate a business and want to sell more products. Create your own mail-order catalog. • Your catalog should include at least two products, including a picture and a 2-3 sentence description that sells the product to the customer. • Use the new products that we have discussed today or other innovations we have discussed previously this unit.
