In this portfolio assignment, you will choose an event from the time periods of the Gilded Age or the Progressive Era and take on a persona from the event. For example, you could choose to portray a sharecropper or tenant farmer, a participant of the Atlanta race riot, or Tom Watson running a political campaign. Consider the famous people you learned about in this unit—daring politicians, trailblazing African American business leaders, or notable suffragettes who helped create the Georgia and nation you live in today, for example. With what events were they connected? How can you use their voice to bring these events to life?

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was the twenty-sixth president of the United States, a leader of the Republican Party and, later, the Progressive movement. He was the first president to become a truly "popular" leader by using the media to appeal directly to the American people.
Roosevelt, who became a national hero for his leadership of the "Rough Riders" regiment in the Spanish-American War, ran as William McKinley's running mate in the presidential election of 1900. When McKinley was assassinated by a crazed anarchist in 1901, the young Roosevelt suddenly became president. Unlike his conservative predecessor, Roosevelt shared many of the goals of the Progressive movement and might fairly be considered the first Progressive president. In his own time, Roosevelt was one of the most popular presidents in American history.
