Include descriptions of their day beginning in the tenements, including details about length of work day, working conditions, etc., and many of the other hardships that industrial workers faced. Cause and Effect Chart Students will create a cause and effect chart with three columns. In the first, they will identify 5 problems associated with the rapid growth of cities. The second column will list the effect of each problem, and the third will list progressive era solutions for solving each problem. Create a Political Cartoon Students will draw a political cartoon that illustrates the problems associated with political machines, and the reform attempts made to limit their powers.

Made up the bulk of labor for the industrial boom and became a major part of the consumer market. Urbanization - Industrialization led to the growth of cities, which suffered bad sanitation, pollution, and overcrowding. Inadequate infrastructure and political corruption led to reforms in making more efficient local government.
