What educators are saying
Thank you for this resource. It was helpful for my students to understand all the business aspects of the Industrial era.
I like having all this information in one place for my students. The activities have helped them understand the concepts - plus they're getting more experience with primary source analysis. The students who enjoy drawing and writing have made some awesome cartoons.
Description
Students explore how men such as Rockefeller and Carnegie formed monopolies during the Gilded Age. Provides context for terms such as vertical and horizontal integration, laissez faire, social darwinism, monopolies, trusts, etc. Students analyze primary source quotes and political cartoons, complete a Venn Diagram, create visuals to demonstrate understanding, answer questions, and create their own political cartoon.
Before using this I suggest using my "Robber Barons: Meet Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, Vanderbilt & Their Monopolies" as an introduction to the famous monopolists and the time period.
After using this I suggest diving into a brief DBQ allowing students to voice their opinions on these men and their practices with my "Robber Barons or Captains of Industry? DBQ on Rockefeller, Carnegie & Monopolies".
