SNOW DAY ASSIGNMENT

Classwork for 2/15: Please go ahead and write your 4 paragraph essay based on your matrix.

On Tuesday, we will:

  1. Finish Peer Reviews for our essays 
  2. Take the quiz on Progressive Era
  3. Discuss/plot our class matrix 
HW Tonight: Please read this short essay on women and the Progressive movement. A list of key points are encouraged. A useful note taking method is the "One Post-It Per Page":students can only make notes on these, and can only include one Post-It note on each paragraph of the essay to summarize its essential message


We will use this essay to initiate our activity centered around the following question, "Analyze the roles that women played in Progressive Era reforms from the 1880s through 1920."

Homework DUE 2/15!!

Just remember your final product for the matrix HW should include:

an X/Y axis - just like in math.

on Y axis - Success/Failure

on X axis - Reaction/Reform (remember this is also the typo in the last sentence of the introduction)


Your job: is to plot the terms given to you on the matrix. On a separate sheet of paper, provide a 1 sentence explanation of why you put the term where you did.

On another note, I apologize for the mix up on chapters. I hope that the 2nd part of the sub work, you noticed that I had made a mistake and that chapter 28 had nothing to do with the Progressive Era. The correct chapters (as outlined in the HW are 29/30) 


Homework - Matrix  (for those that were absent or lost their handout)

Matrix Example from Articles of Confederation v. Constitution  (yours should look similar to this)
