Legacy of the Progressive Era
Utilize the Topic 6 Readings to create a PowerPoint presentation of five to six slides on the Progressive Era. Be sure to cite and reference all sources. Include slide notes in your presentation slides. Additionally, include a title, introduction and reference slide(s), which do not count toward five to six slide totals. Evaluate how each of the following topics was influenced by the Progressive Movement and the lasting impact each had on American Society (100-125 words each topic in the slide notes)
1.Regulation of Business
2.Greater Democracy
3.Conservationism
4.Rise of Professionalism

Extra Help
Your first assignment focuses on the Progressive Era and requires you to create a PowerPoint presentation. Each slide must contain at least 100-125 words minimum. Many students do not review this completely and instead of discussing conservationism they discuss conservatism. If you do a Google search it often will give you information on conservatism, and not conservationism. Please be mindful of this. For the slide on democracy, you must discuss the Progressive Era. Do not give information at all on the time of Jefferson or Jackson. If you do you will not score well for this slide. For prohibition, you need to specifically state what this was, what Amendment was put in place, and specifically what Amendment ended this. Make sure each slide answers how, why, where, and when on each of these topics. You must include citations on each slide and a reference slide, just as you would for a paper. Do not write in the first person, and if you use bullet points make sure your slides each contain the minimum word requirement. Do not include any direct quotes on any slide. I do not require you to use the notes section. You can just place your information directly on the slide. If you use the notes section, then the minimum word requirement must be completely met in the notes section. Your title slide must have the title of presentation, your name, submission date, course title, and my name, just as you would for a paper. You can either have all of your information directly on the slide, or have bullet points on the slides, and the information in the notes section. You should not have paragraphs on the slides and in the notes section. Be creative, you should not just have blank white slides with black text in paragraph form. You are not required to use photographs, charts, or any other add-ins. You must submit to Lopes write. You must submit a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, as I will not accept a Word document for this assignment, nor a pdf. Your Lopes write percentage must be well under 20% for similarity and quote percentage on the report should be 0%.
