DO WHATCHA KNOW!
Think about all of the technology you’ve used so far today. When do you think that technology was invented? Was it around during the Civil War? How do you think it was made?
INTRO TO NEW MATERIAL
Students will read Zinn chapter “Robber Barons and Rebels,” and identify the following vocabulary and people:
monopoly/trust
Sherman Anti-Trust Act
Andrew Carnegie
John D. Rockefeller
Thomas Edison
GUIDED PRACTICE
As a class, we will complete SOAPS on the primary source Promoting Chattanooga.
Next, you will work with your table to complete SOAPS on Harriet Robinson: Lowell Mill Girls. Find links to the primary sources in the Unit 2 Guide.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
You many choose to examine one of two primary sources: Edison’s Patent for Electric Light or Mrs. W.C. Lathrop’s Letter to Edison. Complete SOAPS on whichever one you choose.
