Over the next few weeks we will be reading and learning about industrial growth in America from 1860-1910. We began our unit by looking at modern day frustrations towards Wall Street as expressed by the Occupy Wall Street movement and Bruce Springsteen's 2012 album Wrecking Ball. Students are to read Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States pages 253-267; 282-295 by Monday (10/27). This coming week we will spend Monday having a lecture about Robber Barons and an overview of the Zinn chapter, on Tuesday and Wednesday we will play Monopoly.
