History Presentation Ideas?

Hi, I need to make a presentation with a partner on any specific topics in the Progressive Era and we are having a hard time thinking of a creative way to present. My partner wants to base the presentation on Pure Food and Meat Inspection Acts but other options are available too, such as muckrakers, TR and William Taft, Trustsbusting, conservation, Panic of 1907, Modern Day Spelling, etc.

The creativity is what I concern the most. We can do a regular powerpoint presentation but that would be quite boring.

We can’t do a gameshow such as Millionaire because other groups have done that already.

He doesn’t want to act a skid or something.

I want to show a Simpsons episode or other TV shows but find no relevant ones.

A computer game of some sort (maybe monopoly relating trusts?) would be nice but I can’t think of any.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I WILL choose the best answer.

Thanks in advance!

You could do it debate style you’d have to do a little more research finding the desenting side. EG for the meat inspectors you could bring up “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair then discuss the dissenting oppinion I know it exists but you have to dig for it. Your teacher will be impressed if you find real dissenting oppinions.

Hope this helps

Perhaps you could act out a brief skit, maybe based on literature of the time. The first thing that comes to mind is Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” where someone can play Jurgis, another as Ona, maybe a narrator, and highlight a few scenes.

“The Jungle” was written near the turn of the century and it is believed that when Roosevelt read it (pieces at a time in the newspaper) he threw his sausage out the window.

How about post-colonial Africa? The violence there stems from tribal differences that were suppressed under the Europeans; most people don’t know that. I would choose one country or region and two or three cultures.
