What's Your Movement?

GET OFF THE COUCH AND MAKE SOME CHANGE! 

Have you ever felt so passionate about making a difference that you considering letting everyone you know how you feel?  Have you ever wanted to change something (reform) for the better?  If you have, then this is the post for you! 


This past week in 8th Grade Social Studies we discussed 19th century reform movments and the heroes that changed our nation forever.  The activists/reformers helped change the ways which we act towards different sub-populations of people.  They also changed the way we live by creating movments through political and social unrest/protest.  While the reform movments of the time varied in approach, topic, and scope, each worked to make life more prosperous for its constituents (the people it represented).  Take a moment to honor the following reform movement posters and your classmates that created them.

Progressive Thinking,

Mr. Stocker
