This week, the focus is on the Progressive Era. Wouldn’t it be convenient if you had a way to peer inside what the classrooms were like in this period? While time travel is not possible, through the magic of Google Books, you have complete issues of the magazine called School Life. Published by the Department of the Interior and Bureau of Education, each issue covers various school-related topics. They focus on all academic concerns, but for this assignment, your task is to explore the problems during the Progressive Era and find a topic related to a STEM field.
Answer the following questions:
What insights did you learn from your virtual Progressive Era classroom visit? How are their concerns similar or different from ours today?
