Exploration

Student Exploration (Please note that your muckraking article will be a blog post on the classroom blogspot site. Remember to identify your post by your group number only.)

This is the information for your inquiry. Your group is responsible for reviewing, reading and interpreting all of the material presented. Prior to embarking on your task, please review the "Student End-of-Unit Assignment" in order to focus your research. As always the terms identified in each section will become the "raisins" in the "mush" of your DBQ response.


 * In order to present a contrary viewpoint to the "muckraker" assignment, your group will also be responsible for reading the following chapters from New Spirits - Americans in the "Gilded Age," 1865-1905 by Rebecca Edwards.

Introduction: Democratic Vistas Chapter 1 An Uneasy Peace Chapter 5 Youth Chapter 10 Cooperative Dreams

Your group is responsible for presenting an "Editorial" contradicting any one of the muckraking articles posted by another group in your class. Please review "Characteristics of Editorial Writing" prior to beginning.
