  • Significant Inventors of the Industrial Revolution # This lesson will review the impact of industrialization and urbanization in the early 1900s in the United States. Students will be given a list of significant inventors and asked to create a digital presentation to discuss the significance of their inventor and the impact of their invention on the United States.
  • Reading Like a Historian: Albert Parsons SAC # In this lesson, students analyze primary source documents and engage in a Structured Academic Controversy in an effort to answer the central historical question: Was [Haymarket Riot defendant] Albert Parsons a dangerous man? First, the teacher uses a timeline to introduce Haymarket and the 8 men put on trial in its aftermath. Students are then given 6 documents-several by Parsons himself, but also a newspaper account of the trial, trial testimony, and a 2006 secondary source-and answer guiding questions. Students then divide into groups of 4 and into pairs within each group. Each pair presents the argument to the other that Parson was/was not "dangerous"; only at the end can students abandon their previous positions, reach consensus in writing as a group, and defend that view in a final class discussion.
