  • Join to access all included materials

This is a true gem. This PowerPoint is well-organized, has bullet points you control (which gives you time for discussion), has sound effects, and covers several aspects of American industrialization after 1900. The presentation begins with an overview of types of industries, inventors, their effects on society, problems for workers,  immigration, racism, urbanization, and solutions to problems stemming from industrialization. This could be used throughout an entire US History unit.
