Journal entry #5 (Last one!)
How did his/her actions impact the United States? (In can be years in the future and you are reflecting back, you could even be a ghost in the 21st century and you are noticing the how your person influenced the growth of the United States). Remember to keep the flow! (see sample below)
MAKE SURE 5 entries are typed (final drafts). Entire assignment is due on Monday (Independent work and group work)
Sample
May 10, 1999 Betty Janson's Diary
My entire life, I never knew that I would live this long. I am now the oldest woman in the world. As I near the end of my life and as I lay on my deathbed, I reflect back on the most memorable parts. Certainly, working for Mr. Morgan until his death in 1913 was monumental. I look around New York today and I see his legacy everywhere; on Wall Street where traders still revel at the sound of his name, in the tall skyscrapers that really seem to scrape the sky, and at the Morgan Library where he so graciously donated the books of his study. Most importantly, I see remnants of the past in people’s lifestyles. Many individuals today have become wealthy due to practicing his methods in investing into many different industries. In fact, his company, still going strong as we arrive into the new millennium has just merged with Chase Bank. The spirit of Mr. Morgan, after all this time, still knows how to strike a deal!

Journal entry #4
What were some struggles/difficulties/encounters that your person was faced with? How did he/she react to them? Pick one for your journal entry.
See below...
May 10, 1912 Betty Janson
I’ve never seen Mr. Morgan so angry! In all the years that I’ve been here, I’ve never heard him so much as cuss (except around reporters who hound him with questions about his personal and business life). There’s been a lot of talk saying that he has been amassing too much control over the railroads and other industries. The U.S. government has been sending investigators to his office and are questioning everyone at J.P. Morgan & Co. In fact, Mr. Morgan must report to the House Banking and Currency Committee next week! The muckrakers are to blame for this. They say that he is in too much control of American society….
EVERYTHING IS DUE ON MONDAY, NOV. 3

Second entry will be done in class on Tuesday. Continue to bring in research. For HW tonight, make sure revision for 1st entry is complete.
Journal Entry #2Where is the place that the person is from (or lives, has a strong influence in, or is near)? Describe it. What is going on? Who lives there? What is atmosphere like? Use descriptive words and be very detailed. You may not mention much about your person/topic. Focus on the PLACE, the WHERE. If necessary use an image to aid you.Sample:Personal Journal of Betty Janson (maid of J.P. Morgan)September 10, 1892 I hurried through the crowded streets of the Lower East Side. Vendors and street stalls clog the paths. People are swarming everywhere and rush to the front of the vendors in order to purchase the wares and food items that are on sale. These humble merchants have everything from shoes to celery, from kosher pickles to underwear. In fact, you find anything in this immigrant section of Manhattan.I find the stand that I need and quickly purchase my linens and sheets. Even though I live within the servant quarters of Mr. Morgan’s home on the Upper East Side, I’ve always preferred to shop here where the buildings are barely three stories high and everything is cheap at best. Most importantly, the social atmosphere is undeniably unique. I hear people bargaining in languages I’ve never heard before. Most are from the eastern part of Europe. In fact, I even hear spoken phrases in Italian (which I picked up from our housekeeper, Mrs. Coppola). It is here, in the southern tip of Manhattan, where you will find all the struggling working class people. They either live in tiny, cramped tenements or they labor in the many textile factories that line the streets alongside Broadway. It might be a coincedence that many of these hardworking individuals crammed against me while buying sheets may also toil away in the steel industry, which Mr. Morgan has a large stake in.Yes, this city has truly changed in the twenty years that I’ve been alive. Never have I seen such an increase in population and jobs! On top of that, this part of the Lower East Side is so drastically different from the tall, gleaming, majestic skyscrapers that are present throughout the rest of Manhattan. Mr. Morgan works there. Right now, J. P. Morgan & Company are probably signing forms to rescue (more like take over) another failing company. Rumor has it that next in line is the U.S. government. I heave a heavy sigh, this world that I’m in now is really a world away from Mr. Morgan’s.

MONDAY: First ENTRY due on Monday. WHO is my person? What is his/her personality like?
Where was he born? Where did he go to school? Who may have influenced his/her career? How do people treat him/her? How does he/she treat people?
Sample: Betty Janson (Maid of J.P. Morgan)
March 1892, New York
I quickly dusted Mr. Morgan’s bookshelf. He will be home soon and will not be happy that his grand home is in such a disarray. My boss, Mr. John Pierpont Morgan grew up in a very affluent part of Connecticut. Raised in the best boarding schools in America and in Europe, he is used to rigor and order. We, his servants, must comply to his structured way of life. Even the smallest speck of dust would send everything into an uproar.
You could say that his father’s strong influence on his education led to his success. Learning French wasn’t enough; he also had to learn German! Yes, Mr. Morgan was pretty much groomed for this type of life...
CONTINUE TO BRING IN RESEARCH. WE WILL WORK ON PEER REVISION TOMORROW

MAJOR ASSIGNMENT #1: The Gilded Age/the Progressive Era
The events of the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era have deeply impacted American society in many ways at the turn of the 20th century. Big business moguls like John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and Cornelius Vanderbilt carved up industrial wealth and Wall Street for themselves. On another level, millions of families and individuals from overseas (mainly Europe and later on Asia) have flooded major cities. Some were escaping discrimination and religious persecution. Others were following dreams of American wealth and sought new lives filled with economic opportunities. Their struggles at home and in the workplace prompted reformers and muckrakers to lobby for improved living and work conditions. Unions also began to form and were pushed forward by bold leaders who demanded better pay and safer working conditions. The presence and actions of all these uniquely different individuals ultimately transformed the nation.

The Minutes Stand Still
Time is like a creeping tortoise here
The appearance of the crescent moon is ever near
With every deep breath I take
My lungs allow the dirt and dust to overtake
The loud hum of the sewing machines numb my head
I wonder if my body will make it into bed
With my back propped up on the stiff chair
Pressed next against these poor girls is all I can bear
Poor Father has not worked in weeks!
It is up to me to make enough money for even leeks
As my mind reflects on my future coming
I hear the familiar ‘Ding!’
Time for a 10 minute break!
For an education and books will never be in my wake.

HW
1) A news article reaction due by Monday 6 PM. E-mail me at mfong2@schools.nyc.gov. Questions will also be on blog.Topic: Vice Presidential Debate- 1 page reflection a) What article and source/newspaper did you use? What were some topics mentioned? Describe each candidate’s behavior (were they nervous, fierce, timid, etc). Who came out as the stronger candidate? See links below....
http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/president/debates/vice-presidential-debate.html

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1846977,00.html
Sample: The article that I found is "Biden and Palin Square Off" from the newsmagazine Newstime. Senator Joe Biden and Governor Palin argued over many topics during the debate. However, the main issue seemed to be the struggling economy and how many people were losing jobs. Palin's behavior was that of nervousness in the beginning but later on she gatherered more energy, especially when she was talking about this topic. She rallied for working and middle class families and stressed that Sentor McCain and herself would do whatever it takes for people to remain employed. Biden was very restrained during the debate. He did accuse Palin of one time of saying something that wasn't true...
2) Write a journal entry in your sourcebook on using words from our group work or the video (at least 6). Imagine that you are living during the early years of the Gilded Age. What is going on around you? How is New York changing?
