Read Kansas! Middle School - M-29 Progressive Movement in Kansas

With this middle level lesson students will learn about contributions made by the Progressive Movement in Kansas. Students will work in small groups to read parts of a Kansas law passed during the Progressive Era and will complete a graphic organizer summarizing the contributions.  This lesson is intended to take one class period to cover the basic contributions of the Progressive Movement.  In order to fully meet the reading and the civics and government standards a second class period is needed to focus on the text features of a bill.  As an extended activity students can test what they have learned about each law by playing the Legal Dare game.  The game requires one to two additional class periods.
