B Period:

In long block today, we talked all about POPULISM and started an in-class reading and assignment. There is a link to the reading below if you were absent, and here's what I'd asked you to pull out of the reading:

In-Class Reading: (p.578-580)
Please read carefully and respond to these questions as you go…

•Can you piece together a clear definition of the Progressive Era? Jot down your ideas.

•What factors led to the rise of the “progressive impulse”?

•What were the main goals of the progressives?

Bonus: (not necessarily from the reading) What connections between the Populist and Progressive movements can you identify?
