 * SPE 545 Week 7 **
 * Find a topic related to Chicago history on this website: []
 * Brainstorm on the following components of a lesson or classroom activity that has a primary source component:
 * **Understand the clash/conflicts between laborers and factory managers in the late 1800’s in Chicago **
 * **Understand what living and working conditions were like in the late 1800’s and turn of the century **
 * **Understand how unions influenced business owners and the government to improve working conditions **
 * **Understand how unions came to be popular among workers in this time period **

**Investigative Questions ** (Big questions to guide the learning process)**:**
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">What was it like to be a worker? Work day, wages, dangers, working conditions? **
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">How does capitalism influence the relationship between workers and managers? **
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">What working conditions would people want to change? **
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">What were the main interests of the factory owners, what’s important to them and not important to them? **
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">What side did the Chicago Police take during and after the Haymarket Affair and why? **

Good questions for thinking!

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Primary Source Materials ** <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif';">(List title and URL)

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><range type="comment" id="546535">What audience is this poster speaking to? Why would it be in two languages? What city do you think this is in and why? What type of incident are they reacting to? **

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Label this photo: Union leader, Chicago police, the shooter, laborers, weapons, fire bomb, location, factory. Write a 4-5 sentence caption as a summary of the Haymarket Riot. **

[]

This above photo could be used for students to write a first person narrative about the event. Or, they can be poised as a journalist reporting on what is happening and reflecting on why this photo would be a good match for their news report.

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Primary Sources Strategies ** <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif';"> (what do you expect your students to do with the primary sources and what strategies do you want them to be engaged with when using primary sources): **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">We expect them to use primary resources to write a newspaper article and participate in a mock trial. We want them to understand what life was like for workers at this time and why they rioted for better working conditions. **

Great!

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Procedure ** <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif';"> (Describe the procedure of the lesson or activity if not already covered in the overview section):


 * 1) **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Brainstorm: ** **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Think about your work environment today...are you allowed to rest periodically? Do you earn a decent wage? Can you voice your concerns without losing your job? Excellent lead-in to the lesson... **
 * 2) **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Look at visual images and answer questions of varying levels. Also use the labeling skills to understand and captioning to summarize the event. **
 * 3) **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Write an newspaper article as a reporter the day after the riot and include pictures and quotes **
 * 4) **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Participate in a mock trial using historical evidence (Will need more original resources and take more time; but a great project) **

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Assessment ** <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif';"> (Including how you will assess students’ use of primary source materials): **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Have students visit [] and read about the Haymarket Riot in an article from the Chicago Tribune dated May 5, 1886- a day after the riot occurred. Then, they pretend they are journalists and write an article about what happened that night, “interviewing” both the police and laborers. Students also must insert a picture in their article of the incident. Great! Using visual evidences to prepare themselves for the interview focuses students on critical thinking and meaningful use of visual literacy for interpretation purposes. **

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Evaluation ** <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif';"> (How you will evaluate the learning outcome aligned with the lesson goals and objectives): **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Mock trial activity: Assign roles of factory manager, laborers, labor union leader, police officers, lawyers/prosecutors, jury, and judge. Provide questions for the lawyers to ask and give the questions ahead of time to the characters so they can research their response. **

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">UDL ** <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif';"> (How is this lesson/activity adaptive to all learners?) **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">We included visual aids and texts, acting out a trial, and a writing activity that can vary in detail to give all the opportunity to show what they know. All students can participate in analyzing the visuals and finding their own visual for their article. All students will be able to participate in the trial because they can fit into different roles that they can excel at. **

**<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Extension Ideas ** <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'arial','sans-serif';"> (If you have good ideas for how to take this activity/lesson a step beyond): The Qantas Airways strike is an example.
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Examine current labor situations and the Occupy Wall Street movement and compare/contrast. **
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Compile the students’ work into a digital museum exhibit **
 * **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">View the Haymarket Martyrs’ monuments and make a map of the riot and memorials **
