The Gilded Age & Progressive Era Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.

Because most workers had skills that the factory needed, they could bargain with the boss for better wages. By the late 1800s, though, factories had changed, and workers needed to adapt.
