To address content, writing, and the common core standards we will be using documents to support a five paragraph essay. The task is to choose three worthy reforms from the Progressive Era and fund them with money given to you by your fictional aunt. Examples and documents are used in class. Reform causes include: deforestation/conservation, child labor, women's suffrage (right to vote), and food safety.
Here is what your essay should look like:
I. Introduction: Background, question, and thesis
II. Body Paragraph: Problem #1, evidence and argument
III. Body Paragraph: Problem #2, evidence and argument
IV. Body Paragraph: Problem #3, evidence and argument
V. Conclusion: restate thesis, why you choose what you did
