The Gilded Age American Experience PBS Viewing Guide

The Gilded Age Viewing Guide PBS American Experience

This viewing guide provides a great overview to the Gilded Age series from PBS's American Experience. I love these videos because they utilize primary sources to tell the story of U.S. History.

The Chinese Exclusion Act

The Chinese Exclusion Act the Gilded Age Industrialization

With this activity, I’ve found that information requires whole-class instruction. There are many complicated reasons why the Chinese Exclusion Act came to pass, however, the overarching reason was racism. I’m found that whole group instruction is best for these types of conversations in order to clear up misconceptions as they come up. Students will work through a Google Slides presentation with the teacher and answer some comprehension questions to check understanding. They will also analyze a political cartoon discussing the act.

Boss Tweed Product Cover

Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed Inquiry Based Lesson Primary Source Analysis

With this activity, students analyze the actions of Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall to determine if Tammany Hall was more focused on acting as a public servant towards new immigrants or on graft. Students will read a historical background discussing the major details, analyze specific actions taken by Tammany Hall (and Boss Tweed in particular), and then place those activities on a scale to visually weigh his actions. They will also analyze some of the cartoons relating to Tammany Hall.

The first is a printed handout with a digital self-guided presentation. The second option is fully digital.

Big Business Carnegie and Rockefeller

Big Business Carnegie Rockefeller Robber Barons or Captains of Industry?

With this activity, students will learn about the major vocabulary surrounding the rise of industry. I find that understanding of that vocabulary is often assumed and is not explained well. Therefore, I created a scenario to explain each of the terms before diving into the history. Students will then assess several cartoons discussing the industrialists (Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller) to determine if they could be best described as robber barons or captains of industry.
