We continued the muckrakers from yesterday. (look at notes). The 3 muckrakers we looked at were Upton Sinclair, John Spargo, and Ida Tarbell. There were many more of these but a muckraker is a journalist who tries to solve a problem or do research on a problem in society. Today we can see these type of people everyday on the news and dateline type shoes, but for the time it was a new form of journalism to solve the issues of the day. You are completing the questions from the handout however for question 3 you are supposed to do the 3 questions on yesterday's notes about the three muckrakers(sorry its confusing but I wanted the questions to be a little more specific).
The Jungle/Bitter Cry of Children/Questions
