Goal: Write a five point progressive manifesto in conjunction with your teammates. 1. Each team member should report to the group about who wrote their article and summarize what it said.
Articles included:
A. John Dewey, from My Pedagogic Creed, NY and Chicago: EL Kellogg and Co, 1897.
B. Upton Sinclair, from The Jungle, 1906, excerpt.
C. Jane Addams, “ Settlement,” in Twenty Years at Hull House, New York: Macmillan, 1910.
D. Mildred Chadsey, “Municipal Housekeeping,” (1915)
E. Booker T. Washington, September 30, 1896, Address to the Brooklyn Institute
F. John Muir Save the Redwoods, 1920.
G. Theodore Roosevelt, “Civic Helpfulness,” 1900.

2. Adopting the position of your documents’ authors, discuss what you think you have in common with the positions of your fellow teammates. For example, what do you see as the PROBLEMS that need to be solved? What do you see as the SOLUTIONS to these problems?

3. Write five “manifesto statements” that best portray the beliefs and concerns of this collection of authors.

3. Each statement must reflect the opinions or observations of at least two of the sources; note which authors are associated with each statement.

4. Progressives shared certain theories about the actual state of American society and about themselves. List the basic assumptions that you found in the documents used for your manifesto. For example, local government has an obligation to provide a clean city.

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
