Students are to click on the following link:

http://www.westirondequoit.org/ihs/library/prog2.htm


Students should research their assigned Muckraker using the links provided on the website. Students should take notes while researching so that they can "teach" their group-mates upon return to class. Students should be knowledgeable about the following bits of information:

1. What industry/company the Muckraker wrote about
2. Quotes from the Muckraker's writing
3. What reaction was gained by the public upon reading the Muckraker's work
4. What reforms were pushed/passed because of the Muckraker's work

Students should be able to draw a picture that is representative of their Muckraker upon completion of their research!

Happy Learning!
