Reform Leaders Answer Key

This worksheet asks students to match major Progressive Era reformers-such as Upton Sinclair, Jane Addams, Ida Tarbell, Jacob Riis, and Susan B. Anthony-to the social issues they helped change. The matching format helps students connect individuals to their contributions, including exposing monopolies, improving living conditions, expanding voting rights, and promoting safer food practices. A short written reflection requires students to explain the significance of one reformer’s work, reinforcing comprehension. The activity strengthens historical reasoning and builds foundational knowledge of Progressive Era reform movements.
