Then fill in theansweronyouranswerdocument. from Jake Drake, Teacher’s Pet by Andrew Clements 1 When I was in third grade, we got five new computers in our classroom. Mrs. Snavin was my third-grade teacher, and she acted like computers were scary, especially the new ones. She always needed to look at a how-to book and the computer at the same time. Even then, she got mixed up a lot. Then she had to call Mrs. Reed, the librarian, to come and show her what to do. 2 So it was a Monday morning in May, and Mrs. Snavin was sitting in front of a new computer at the back of the room. She was confused about a program we were supposed to use for a math project. My desk was near the computers, and I was watching her. 3 Mrs. Snavin looked at the screen, and then she looked at this book, and then back at the screen again. Then she shook her head and let out this big sigh. I could tell she was almost ready to call Mrs. Reed. 4 I’ve always liked computers, and I know how to do some stuff with them. Like turn them on and open programs, play games and type, make drawings, and build Web pages—things like that.
  • The Square Deal

    The Square Deal

    Teddy Roosevelt - The Trust Buster Teddy Roosevelt was one American who believed a revolution was coming. He believed Wall Street financiers and powerful trust titans to be acting foolishly. He believed that large trusts and monopolies were harmful to the economy and especially to the consumer. While they were eating off fancy china on mahogany tables in marble dining rooms, the masses were roughing it. There seemed to be no limit to greed. If docking wages would increase profits, it was done. If higher railroad rates put more gold in their coffers, it was done. How much was enough, Roosevelt wondered? The President's weapon was the Sherman Antitrust Act, passed by Congress in 1890. This law declared illegal all combinations "in restraint of trade." For the first twelve years of its existence, the Sherman Act was a paper tiger. United States courts routinely sided with business when any enforcement of the Act was attempted. 1. What belief guided President Theodore Roosevelt’s efforts as a trustbuster? 2. What is a monopoly? Why are they harmful to the economy and to the consumer? 3. What piece of legislation did Roosevelt use to break up monopolies? The Square Deal The Square Deal was Roosevelt's domestic program formed on three basic ideas: conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection. In general, the Square Deal attacked plutocracy and bad trusts while simultaneously protecting businesses from the most extreme demands of organized labor. In contrast to his predecessor William McKinley, Roosevelt believed that such government action was necessary to mitigate social evil, and as president denounced “the representatives of predatory wealth” as guilty of “all forms of iniquity from the oppression of wage workers to defrauding the public." Trusts and monopolies became the primary target of Square Deal legislation.

    JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Mark T. Tomecko August, 2012 JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 Mark T. Tomecko Thesis Approved: Accepted: _______________________________ ______________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Tracey Jean Boisseau Dr. Chand Midha _______________________________ ______________________________ Department Chair Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Martin Wainwright Dr. George Newkome ______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT Most analysts of black voting patterns in the United States have assumed that the first substantive abandonment of the Republican party by black voters occurred in the 1930s, when the majority of black voters embraced Franklin Roosevelt‘s New Deal. A closer examination, however, of another Roosevelt presidency – that of Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) – demonstrates the degree to which black voters were already growing disenchanted with the Republicans in the face of what they viewed as uneven support and contradictory messages from the highest ranking Republican in the land. Though the perception of Theodore Roosevelt‘s relationship to black Americans has been dominated by his historic invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine with him at the White House in 1901, in fact even this event had assorted and complex meanings for Roosevelt‘s relationship to the black community. More importantly, his dismissal of black troops following a controversial shooting in southern Texas in 1906 – an event known as the Brownsville affair – set off a firestorm of bitter protest from the black press, black intellectuals, and black voters.

    Chapter 18 Video, “The Stockyard Jungle,” Portrays the Horrors of the Meatpacking Industry First Investigated by Upton Sinclair

    The Progressive Movement 1890–1919 Why It Matters Industrialization changed American society. Cities were crowded with new immigrants, working conditions were often bad, and the old political system was breaking down. These conditions gave rise to the Progressive movement. Progressives campaigned for both political and social reforms for more than two decades and enjoyed significant successes at the local, state, and national levels. The Impact Today Many Progressive-era changes are still alive in the United States today. • Political parties hold direct primaries to nominate candidates for office. • The Seventeenth Amendment calls for the direct election of senators. • Federal regulation of food and drugs began in this period.

    Theodore Roosevelt and the Political Rhetoric of Conservation

    Beck and Dieterich-Ward - TR and Policical Rhetoric of Conservation 41 “Keep Your Eyes on the Stars, but Remember to Keep Your Feet on the Ground”: 1 Theodore Roosevelt and the Political Rhetoric of Conservation Chelsie Jean Beck *Allen Dieterich-Ward, PhD Department of History Shippensburg University ABSTRACT At the turn of the twentieth century the Progressive Era conservation movement gained mo - mentum with the help of President Theodore Roosevelt, who championed conservationism. This study examines the existing literature that discusses both Theodore Roosevelt’s conservationism and conservationism in general. It asserts that the existing literature can be divided into thematic cate - gories that include political, cultural, and economic examinations of conservationism, and it argues that there is a need to reexamine the typical political arguments that exist regarding Roosevelt’s con - servationism. The study then analyzes Roosevelt’s messages to Congress as a means of demonstrat - ing that Roosevelt was not as politically aggressive as scholars have typically argued. In fact, the study found that Roosevelt used logic and political pragmatism when trying to achieve his conser - vation goals. Keywords : conservation movement; Progressive Era; and Theodore Roosevelt In November 1902 President Theodore Roosevelt ar - mistaken as the teddy bear has endured for over a century. rived in Mississippi and headed to the wilderness for a bear The 1902 Mississippi bear hunt reveals more than the hunt.

(All readings from the Roosevelt Center at Dickinson State University unless otherwise noted.) Use the info to write Roosevelt’s opinion of himself. Theodore Roosevelt (Introduction): (from the Gilder Lehrman Institute) Among progressivism’s greatest champions was Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt had a genius for publicity, using the presidency as a “bully pulpit” to bring progressivism to the national stage. Roosevelt’s roots were in New York City and state government, where he served as state assemblyman, New York City police commissioner, and governor. As governor, he signaled his reformist sympathies by supporting civil service reform and a new tax on corporations. Republican Party elders found him so troublesome in the governor’s office that in 1900 they proposed him for the vice presidency, a sure-fire route to political insignificance.

    “Cheat Sheet” for the Story of the Teddy

    Teacher's "Cheat Sheet" for "MISSISSIPPI'S TEDDY BEAR" Following are answers to questions from the "Mississippi's Teddy Bear" story, as well as discussion and extension ideas. Reading Comprehension: Answer these questions about the story on a separate piece of paper. 1. Where does the story take place? Little Sunflower River, Mississippi 2. Why are bears rare in 1902? "People from the East, North, and South moved to Mississippi and cut the trees and drained the swamps, leaving no habitat for bears." They had nowhere to live! At the same time, bear hunting became popular and many, many bears were killed. 3. Who found the bear? The dogs, and Holt Collier, the bear hunting guide. What evidence from the text supports your answer? "Suddenly, the dogs howled loudly. They had found the scent of a bear!" ""Finally, the dogs saw the bear. It was old and hurt. Holt Collier blew his bugle to call the men." 4. Pretend you are President Roosevelt, what would you do next? How do you feel? 5. What would YOU have done? Additional Comprehension questions: 1. Why were the dogs there? Make an inference. To help the people find the bear and to chase the bear towards the people. They can hear and smell the scent of a bear very well. 2. What is the main idea of the story? Excessive bear hunting combined with habitat loss led to a severe reduction in bear population. There were not many bears left in Mississippi by the early 1900s. The name "teddy" bear came from a bear hunt in Mississippi where President Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot an injured bear.

This annual list spotlights important examples of the nation’s ************************* architectural, cultural, and natural heritage that are at risk of destruction or irrepa- Article, registration rable damage. More than 230 sites have been on the list over its 25-year history, form, and directions, and in that time, only a handful of listed sites have been lost. p. 23, 24 Princeton Battlefield is the site of a pivotal Revolutionary War battle where General George Washington rallied his forces to defeat British troops. Waged 235 years ago, the battle at Princeton was a crucial turning point in America’s War of Independence, marking one of General Washington’s first victories over professional British soldiers. Not only did Washington’s success inspire countless soldiers to renew their commissions, but it also reinvigorated financial and political support for the war effort throughout the colonies. Many historians believe that this battle, along with the Battle of Trenton, saved the American Revolution and changed the course of world history. A portion of the battle site is now threatened by a 15-unit housing development planned by the Institute for Advanced Study. As proposed, the project would radically alter the integrity of the historic landscape, which has never been built upon, burying or destroying potential archeological resources and dramatically changing the topography of the terrain — an important element of the battle and essential to interpreting the battle today.
