Good Monday...A ton of you were gone today...and will be gone tomorrow too! Oh well?  Here is the Takehome OUTLINE Assigned today.  It is to be typed and ready on Wednesday....No exceptions.

PLAY PEOPLE...YOU MUST TURN IT IN WEDNESDAY TOO...YOU ARE IN THE BUILDING...BRING IT TO MY ROOM PLEASE!

Prompt:

"To what extent and in what ways did the Progressive Era (1900-1920) address and solve the problems of 1900?"

Directions:

1. Write a Gray Area Thesis that answers the prompt.  YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO MORE THAN SIMPLY RESTATE THE QUESTION.  BETTER THINK "CONTEXT" AND "PARTITIONS".
