1. I am out sick again today everyone, sorry, but I am battling a virus and will be back on Monday. Everyone MUST understand you should be utilizing your time wisely...NO EXCUSES AND NO EXCEPTIONS and your mini-projects below are due first thing on Monday for Group 1, and Group 2 will be due first thing on Tuesday.
2. Group 1- Kiran Churchill, Brendan Corsino, Kali Flanagan, Gaby Goulette, John Lumenello, Natasha Mupenzi, Bryanna Norden, Ashley Poland, Blake Redfern, Nat Siket, and Zachary Tremblay will present the Albert Parson's Case of 1886-1887. Please click on the Unions and Strikes in the Second Industrial Revolution folder. Your job as a group is to have debate on the Central Question: Was Albert Parsons a dangerous man? Your team should split in half: one side argues he was dangerous and the other side argues he was not dangerous. Next, you will need to follow the directions of the "Albert Parson Lesson Plan" and read through Documents A-F and review the Haymarket Timeline. Your ability to conduct a believable and realistic debate using evidence from documents A-F is what your grade will heavily depend upon. You may use other primary or secondary sources to help you "win" the debate, but you MUST SHARE THEM WITH THE OTHER SIDE ARGUING AGAINST YOU AND WITH ME! The "other" students who are working on a different scenario will be the judges of your debate and will be filling out rubrics helping me grade you all AND to determine the winning team! This will be a PROJECT GRADE and be ready to conduct your debate on MONDAY.
2. Group 2 - Jason Clarke, Cam DeChiara, Raybien Felizardo, Joshua Goldstein, Jed Lee, Angela Mastracci, Allison Murphy, Delaney O'Toole, Katrina Radice, Dan Sherry, and Kailey Sparks. Please click on Unions and Strikes in the Second Industrial Revolution folder - You all will have the Pullman Strike of 1894. How did the Pullman Strike divide the Nation? How did Chicago newspapers cover the Pullman strike? Would you support the Pullman Car Company or the workers? Using the Pullman Strike Slideshow I provided and the Documents Sets A-D. You guys need to illustrate to the class which newspapers supported the Pullman Car Company and which ones supported the workers? You need to be prepared to explain your reasons using the Document Sets and illustrate and teach these perspectives to your classmates. Your group should break-down into smaller partners or threes and take a Document Set to examine together and once you are done you need to figure out how you will teach these Document Sets to the rest of class, specifically the "other" team that is working on the Albert Parsons Case of 1886. You may use other primary and secondary sources, in fact, I would strongly encourage you guys to use Primary Source Images/Cartoons, or secondary sources that will help enhance your knowledge of the subject and effective teach this topic to the rest of your classmates. At the end of the day, your entire group should be able to clearly answer question "How did Chicago newspapers cover the Pullman strike?" and provide clear evidence of this. If you want to add resources such as Political Cartoons or Primary Source images then by all means you may do this. You all should be using ONE device so that we are not switching iPads and waiting for a delay time. Your group will effectively present this material and additionally resources on Tuesday.
5. Each group will be graded as a Project Grade and need to be effective as good debaters or history teachers. Remember we are always trying to SEEK THE TRUTH! The "other" group that is not live in the debate or teaching their subject will be learning from your experience and potentially asking you questions so you need to be knowledgeable on your subject. Everyone will have 2 days of preparation (Tuesday and Wednesday) and then 1 day of execution (Thursday for Group 1 and Friday for Group 2). Any questions then ask me please.
