Wiki-Progressives: CUSH 
Your Task: In small groups, construct a Wiki-Page that:
a. provides a thesis with regard to the question and the area of reform you are assigned (use the chicken foot model to construct thesis)
b. provides an effective overview of the problem Progressives were tackling
c. provides several examples of legislation or amendments that were enacted to solve this problem
d. identifies key figures in the reform movement and explains their goals/tactics for reform
e. connects the movement to the current day
Note about what NOT to do:
1. Do not cut and paste large chunks of information to your wikipage. Use your own words and bullet point your major points. LESS IS MORE!
2. Avoid film clips that are longer than three minutes.
In an effort to go semi-green and have constant access to group presentations and work, I'm asking you to post your collaboration on the Progressive Era on this wiki-page. It's easy! Now that you are an administrator of this page, you can go to the edit function and work on your page.
Basic requirements include incorporation of the resources given to you, (images, primary source documents and notesheets), but I also encourage you to embed videos, narration and other bells and whistles to make your page more inviting. Play with the functions! vocaroo.com allows you to record and embed your voice. Use the little TV function above to embed a Youtube video. Include a graphic organizer from webspiration. Upload a powerpoint. BE CREATIVE!
ONLY ONE PERSON CAN EDIT THE PAGE AT ONE TIME! I would recommend finding sources or creating text individually and THEN loading them up to the page one at a time.
You will ultimately be showing your page and presenting your findings to the class on the scheduled presentation days.
