  • Were They Robber Barons Or Captains of Industry?” a Press Conference
    Christine Sink Helena, MT June 2012 “WERE THEY ROBBER BARONS OR CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY?” A PRESS CONFERENCE Objectives: Students will be able to: • Students will understand the terms “robber baron” and “captain of industry” • Research a given historical figure • Complete a graphic organizer on the historical figure • Take on the role of a character • Use research to debate the focus question • Understand and analyze information presented • Form questions in order to dig deeper into different perspectives • Draw a conclusion based on all evidence given Materials: • Folders of background information for each historical figure • Copies of Role Sheets for each group • Copies of Press Conference briefs for each group • Copies of graphic organizer for each group • Group Instructions Introduction: The “Gilded Age” usually refers to the time period between reconstruction and the turn of the century. It was an era of economic growth, industrial expansion, turbulent politics and a swell of immigration. This time period has often been referred to as the “Second Industrial Revolution.” Transportation, communications and industry grew at historically high rates but were on the foundation of an unstable economy. A few individuals became wealthy while many Americans lived in poverty and were overtaken by the corporate world. The Gilded Age was an age in American history where contemporary business and economics were being shaped. Process: 1. Divide students into 8 teams. 2. Each team should assign each member of the team a role (see Role Sheets) 3. Each team is responsible for learning the perspective of their assigned historical person. 4. Working cooperatively each team should work together to organize a clear action plan.
