This made it easier for big companies to bribe (pay) senators to only look out for their interests, and not the people they represented. jcrownson https://padlet.com/jcrownson/zx9yuiosdd3upa80/wish/1242386392 2021-02-25 17:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrownson/zx9yuiosdd3upa80/wish/1242386392 The constitution was amended in 1913 to have the people of their state directly elect senators to Congress. This helped to cut down on some of the corruption from big monopolies and powerful companies. jcrownson https://padlet.com/jcrownson/zx9yuiosdd3upa80/wish/1242396882 2021-02-25 17:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrownson/zx9yuiosdd3upa80/wish/1242396882 jcrownson https://padlet.com/jcrownson/zx9yuiosdd3upa80/wish/1242415374 “A United States Senator…represented something more than a state…He represented…business. One Senator represented the New York Central Railroad, still another the insurance interests…Cotton had half a dozen Senators. And so it went…” The Herald Tribune, 1910

You will be put in breakout rooms to start, and once in the room figure out how to work together to create a padlet for your classmates.  Below are the directions:
1. First step is to watch the video on the google hyperdoc of your reformer or event either as a group or individually.
2.  Meet back in your breakout group to discuss the following:  
A.  What was the Problem the person/event that needed to be solved and why was it a problem. 
B. How did the person solve this problem, shat did they do?  If it is an event, who came up with the solution? {Government, Labor Unions, the Public) 
C. How did this solution correct the problem?
3. Next go to padlet.com and choose the shelf layout.
4. Put in the 5 Columns.
5. Decide who is doing what column.
6. As a group decide what design you want to use for your padlet. It should reflect the reformer or event. ]]> 2021-02-25 18:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrownson/zx9yuiosdd3upa80/wish/1242436205
