Overview
This week, you will be responsible for researching and teaching the class about one reform
movement during the Progressive Era (roughly 1900-1914). Your research and
presentation should address the following:

You will be assessed on the following components of your performance during this project:
□ HW 2.9: Cornell notes on one reading about your reform movement
□ Identifications (date, definition, and significance in your own words) for key terms
related to your movement (see the opposite page for a list of key terms)
□ Two to three quiz questions and answers for your classmates
□ A 3-4 minute presentation, including slides, introducing your classmates to the
