Reform Rollcall

This worksheet matches major Progressive Era reforms-such as the Meat Inspection Act, Pure Food and Drug Act, Federal Reserve Act, and Prohibition-with the problems they addressed. Students strengthen their understanding of how legislation aimed to address unsafe working conditions, dishonest labeling, banking instability, and social issues. A reflection question asks students to evaluate one reform’s impact on everyday Americans. This combination of matching and written response deepens both recall and higher-level thinking.
