Unit 1 Project
The Gilded Age and Progressive Movement
For the project in this unit, we will write short research papers (2-3 pages)
regarding The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Your job as the historian is to prove whether or
not The Jungle is an accurate representation of life at the turn of the century in the United
States. In addition to discussing the role of fictional books in a history course, our goal is
to learn important research and writing skills that will impact the rest of this course.
