This afternoon, please take 20 minutes to complete the following tasks:
- Prepare your work (presentations); if you are delivering your project today, please send me the attachment in the comments section below!
- Pick up Black Like Me from the library.
- Read/watch information below. You should know the definition of "muckrakers" and a little history of the Progressive Era.
Before spending our time with various journalism projects, please go to the library to pick up the muckraking masterpiece: Black Like Me.
The handout article on the book can be found here from the Smithsonian. For more information about muckrakers and their history, check out these important videos. You will, by the way, cover this information in your American History courses (APush, for example...if you take it). But a good idea to learn it now.
