Those ideals and principles are discussed in the first and second chapters of your textbook. You can also visit the following websites to read the original document in which these fundamental values were first stated and how they were later incorporated in the American Constitution:
The Declaration of Independence
The Constitution of the United States:

The history of the United States has been marked by the progressive expansion of voting rights and the protection of its citizens through legislation and Supreme Court decisions. At the same time, executive orders, particularly in periods of crisis led to the violation of individual rights. Throughout this module, these issues are covered. In chapters 3 and 4 you will find the information you need to answer this question. You are also encouraged to visit the following websites for further details.

The rapid growth of the American city occurred from an array of changes.  These changes range from political causes to immigration concerns to industry and its effects.  What are some of these sources, how do they interplay with one another, and how do they reflect cultural changes to the American landscape at the turn of the twentieth century? How do the characters in Stephen Crane’s Maggie: A Girl of the Streets or Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle reflect or contradict these developments? Finally, how do the early 20th century immigrants and Maggie/The Jungle relate to modern-day events (i.e., use one incident of labor, use The New York Times (or a reputable newspaper) for an article on the subject? You can look at labor, immigration, infrastructure, culture, food and health changes,      and other contextual elements of daily life.  Hint: in 2012, Con Ed workers were locked out. In 2022, the United States saw the largest nursing walkout (in Minnesota and one in NYC).  These incidents are examples of modern-day labor strife.  You can pick from a plethora of others.  YOU MUST FIND YOUR OWN EXAMPLE). 
Moreover, remember the Progressive Era ended with the First World War.  Yet, did it really end? During the Great Depression we saw a rebirth and revision of many progressive ideals.  Thus, you need to examine the Progressives through a lens of continual change, growth, and use.  Our time period is circa 1900 to 1940, with comparisons of the modern moment.  
Hint: you do not have to cover everything. 
You can talk about the industry and the plight of the worker, the city and the plight of the immigrant, unions and those that makeup unions (even though unions are not discussed in the novel, the characters are the type of people who formed unions), etc.  You must take a stand and argue at the point.  Essays lacking a thesis will not be able to receive a grade higher than a C-, no matter how “well-written” they might be. 
Use two immigrant accounts from this primary source collection.  The ones you pick are up to you:
The Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans As Told by Themselves.  Edited by Hamilton Holt,
with an Introduction by Edwin E. Slosson.  New York: JAMES POTT & COMPANY,
1906.
You can find it here:

You may also use the textbook and class notes. 
Your essay should be between four to five pages. It must be your work, and anything not yours must be cited. You may use parenthetical citing if you like. If you have questions about citing, EMAIL ME. You may not use outside sources. Other sources will result in a failing grade, just as copying someone else’s work will.  You are allowed one New York Times article.  Only one. 
Have a little fun with this one, and get creative. The link for an online version of Maggie is in your syllabus. Or you can read a paper version.  Also, Maggie and The Jungle are free via Amazon Kindle (even the Kindle app) and Google Books. I’ve left both links in the course unit (see The Progressives).

Your introduction will include background information, historical context, the thesis statement that you’ve been crafting over the last eight weeks, as well as three supporting points designed to defend this thesis statement. You should use the sources selected and used over the last eight weeks (including website, primary and secondary sources) to develop your thesis statement and draft your paper.

Please use Chicago Humanities (also referred to as Turabian) Style to format your bibliography entries and footnotes. The Effective Writing Center created a short overview on using Chicago Humanities Style called “Brief Guide to Citing Sources in Chicago.” To find a copy of this guide, please: click on the Content tab -> Course Resources ->Writing Resources -> “Brief Guide to Citing Sources in Chicago.” From there, scroll through the document to see a list of sources formatted in this style. The examples labeled N=footnote/endnote format and those labeled B=bibliographic entry.

During the Reconstruction period, Congress became consumed with partisanship and as such, ultimately failed in Southern Reconstruction. When you look at the process of today’s legislative acts, what, if anything, has changed? Compare and contrast the issues Congress has to deal with to pass legislation in today’s society versus those in the Reconstruction era.
If your last name begins with A- L discuss the issues during the Reconstruction period, and if your last name begins with M-Z discuss the modern-day issues faced by Congress. (My last name starts with an M)

Each student submits an essay that reflects on their contribution to the video project. You can use many of the materials researched for your podcast but you need to write this paper yourself.
The paper should have a central theme and includes an abstract of the project, the process of choosing a theme, the research involved, the production itself, evaluation of group working relationships and what you learned about the topic. 
How did all this effort contribute to an understanding of the topic in particular and history in general? How could a project such as this be improved for the next class?
Review the work of 2 other group projects and comment on how projects such as this can enhance viewers understanding of Chinese American and Chinese diaspora history.

2. description of the project:
“Locke Chinatown: The Intersectionality of Law, Assimilation, & the Rural Life of Chinese Americans” is an exploration of the last rural Chinatown in the United States. Born out of the labor of Chinese workers who transformed swampland into fertile farmland, Locke became a haven where Chinese residents built close-knit relationships amidst discrimination and adversity.
Despite facing harsh working conditions and societal exclusion, the community initially flourished, establishing vital institutions like schools doubling as town halls and gathering places for political organizations. However, the discriminatory policies such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Alien Land Law of 1913, coupled with forced assimilation efforts, led to the decline of rural Chinese American communities like Locke. Despite its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1990, Locke’s future remains uncertain, reflecting the broader narrative of assimilation that has shaped the Chinese American experience across the nation.
Through interviews and literary analysis, “Locke Chinatown” delves into the struggles of a community caught between preserving its cultural heritage and navigating the pressures of assimilation in America.
