Welcome!

Songs/Write Up I have a write up from the Federal Reserve and then have songs for you to listen to from the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz is an allergory for the Populist Movement. While you are reading the write up I will be playing the music for some of the characters in the background. These two items will help you in identifying what they are supposed to represent for American Society.

Moving SeatsYou will have new seats, yet again. The new seats will be who you are working with to decide whether your assigned person is a Robber Baron OR a Captain of Industry (or potentially both if you want to be a fence rider). Your people will be assigned at the beginning of class on Wednesday and you will present your findings after lunch.
