Gilded Age Student-Led Workbook Interactive U.S. History Activities Aligned with Texas TEKS

Transform your U.S. History classroom with this student-led Gilded Age workbook, designed to foster critical thinking, historical inquiry, and student ownership of learning. Perfect for middle and high school educators, this resource is aligned with Texas TEKS standards and built for interactive, inquiry-based instruction.

This workbook includes a variety of hands-on activities, including primary source analysis, cause-and-effect mapping, and role-based simulations. Students will explore major themes of the Gilded Age, such as industrialization, immigration, urbanization, labor movements, political machines, and economic reform-all while working collaboratively and independently to draw connections to modern issues.

Whether you're teaching about Carnegie and Rockefeller, the rise of labor unions, or the push for civil service reform, this resource makes complex topics more engaging and student-friendly. Ideal for differentiated instruction, station rotations, or project-based learning, the workbook encourages students to become active historians rather than passive learners.
