If I had the opportunity to re- teach one thing from todays lesson I would find better visuals for the meat packing plants in Chicago. The conditions here were terrible and I dont think that I addressed these well enough to get the students to see the issues being looked at. I needed a video or some other form of visual help that I can use to bring the era to life in my teaching. Given a chance I will find one and use it the next time that this topic comes up to get a more in depth understanding of what it was really like when Upton Sinclair was in the plants.
