This three-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides a summary of women's roles and contributions during the Industrial Revolution and Gilded Age in the United States. It covers the time between 1865 and 1900. After the Civil War ended, the economy in the North and Midwest began to expand with the growth of factories and railroads. As a result, immigration increased and distinct social classes developed, creating different experiences for women. These impacts will be addressed in separate resources about women and industrialization.

Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.

This engaging resource delves into the 2024 U.S. election showdown between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, making it accessible and exciting for students aged 11 and up. Designed to fit a full class period, the material compares two texts that offer distinct viewpoints on the potential clash between these political figures. It provides students with a rich analysis of how different authors present varying perspectives on the same high-stakes topic.

Ideal for high school students, the resource helps readers understand how narrative techniques and authorial viewpoints shape the reader’s perception of the candidates and their policies. This comparison encourages critical thinking and equips students with the tools to analyze diverse opinions in written form.

Educators can use this lesson to engage students in discussions about media literacy and political rhetoric while fostering a deeper understanding of the 2024 election. It is a perfect fit for those looking to bring current events into the classroom in a meaningful and educational way.

What's Inside?

• Text One: "An Analytical Look at Kamala Harris’s Potential to Beat Trump" This analytical piece breaks down Kamala Harris's strengths and weaknesses as she challenges former President Donald Trump. It provides a detailed overview of her current polling position, fundraising achievements, and the specific challenges she faces, such as her track record on immigration and past performance as Vice-President. For example, it notes, “Harris faces considerable challenges... Her track record on immigration, her mixed performance as Vice-President, and past campaign struggles could be leveraged against her by the Trump campaign.” This text delivers a clear, fact-based assessment, ideal for understanding the nuts and bolts of her campaign strategy.

• Text Two: "Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump: The Political Battlefield" This narrative-driven text uses vivid imagery and evocative language to frame the election as a dramatic clash of ideologies and personalities. Describing Harris’s campaign as a “burst of vitality” and contrasting it with Trump’s “seasoned bravado,” this piece paints a compelling picture of the campaign dynamics and stakes. It engages readers with a dramatic portrayal of the political landscape, capturing the emotional and strategic dimensions of the contest.

A Peep from the Document: “Harris faces considerable challenges... Her track record on immigration, her mixed performance as Vice-President, and past campaign struggles could be leveraged against her by the Trump campaign.” This quote from Text One provides a factual basis for evaluating Harris’s position in the election.

Author's Take on this: This resource offers a fantastic way to explore the complexities of modern political campaigns.

It's an engaging tool for fostering critical thinking and political awareness in the classroom.
