Gilded Age Team Poster/Presentations:

You have today...one class period...to put together a poster that identifies the main idea of the Crash Course Topic you were assigned.  You must work as a team the make certain the "cowbell" from the video is present and the central image is "spot on" to the topic as it was presented. The summary is at the bottom...your team must draw a conclusion as to the "positive" or "negative" effect. Presentations are tomorrow...all posters are 100% DONE when you walk into the classroom tomorrow.  All members of the team must participate and "contribute" in the presentations.  Presentations should be 5 minutes in length as you explain the "history" of the topic. Mr. Armstrong has a "rubric" for you to look at.  Have at it...
