The Progressive Era mind maps

Using the Progressive Era mind maps

These maps organise topics into branches, giving you different ways into the unit. Progressive Era covers working conditions, while Progressive Era Reformers focuses on reformers. Other maps look at women's suffrage, immigration and the rise of big business.

For a starting point, try 1890-1920 politics, economy and society. It brings political, economic and social topics together, so you can choose a branch to explore further. If you want a narrower focus, the map on Theodore Roosevelt and progressivism covers his ideas about business and conservation.

Revise with a map

Read a branch, then cover it and explain the topic in your own words. Compare maps on the same theme to see how their authors organise the material. When you want to check recall, switch to a quiz on the unit page; use flashcards there for shorter prompts. Choose a branch and see where it leads.
