Progressive Era and Gilded Age Project and Role Play

Meet John D. Rockefeller, Jane Addams, Teddy Roosevelt and more through your students' discovery of them. In this inquiry-based project, students research a major figure of the Progressive Era and Gilded Age and then embody that person at a culminating party. This project, a favorite among my students, puts students literally in the lives of historical figures.

This project includes:

● How to use this resource and complete timeline within the teacher’s guide

● Suggested figures of 30+ individuals from the Progressive Era and Gilded Age

● A list of suggested resources related to the Progressive Era

● Student handouts including: research template, historical context template, costume research guide, and guide for preparing for the party.

● Writing References style guide

● A list of journal entry prompts
