You picked up a packet with an excerpt from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. I read through 2 pages - you underlined key ideas and wrote comments in the margins or in your notes. For example, we learn that Jurgis is an immigrant father who becomes a citizen so he can sell his vote. His children are in school, learning English, something Jurgis also hopes to do. We also learn that Chicago is corrupt, all cities are under Democratic Party control, and that a part of the Chicago River, known as "Bubbly Creek" is polluted. Your homework includes finishing the reading and completing the questions by Monday.
You then had the rest of class time to finish yesterday's image analyses or your homework assignment.
Schedule for next week:
Tomorrow: Women's Suffrage - Alice Paul (Lecture, handout, Video)
Monday: Progressive Era Vid (You have the questions from Tuesday)
Tues/Weds: World War I (Lecture & Handout)
Thurs: Harlem Renaissance
Fri: "America, Story of Us 8: Boom" (Video, with guided questions)
