Explore 11th Grade Gilded Age Interactive Videos

Gilded Age interactive videos for Grade 11 students provide an immersive exploration of America's transformative period from 1870 to 1900, when rapid industrialization, urbanization, and immigration reshaped the nation's social and economic landscape. These guided video lessons available through Wayground feature embedded questions and comprehension checks that challenge students to analyze the era's complex contradictions—the unprecedented wealth of industrialists like Carnegie and Rockefeller alongside the harsh realities of factory workers and urban poverty. Students engage with primary source footage, historical photographs, and expert commentary while responding to targeted prompts that develop their ability to evaluate cause-and-effect relationships, assess the impact of technological innovations like the transcontinental railroad, and examine the rise of labor movements and political machines that defined this pivotal era in American history. Wayground's extensive collection of teacher-created Gilded Age interactive videos supports educators through millions of curated resources with robust search and filtering capabilities that align with state and national social studies standards. Teachers can customize video lessons to match diverse learning needs, incorporating differentiated questioning sequences and adjusting pacing to support both remediation for struggling students and enrichment opportunities for advanced learners. The platform's digital-first delivery format enables flexible implementation across various instructional models, from whole-class viewing with real-time discussion to individual student exploration during independent study periods. These comprehensive tools empower educators to reinforce critical thinking skills, support historical analysis competencies, and provide targeted intervention that ensures all Grade 11 students develop a nuanced understanding of how Gilded Age developments continue to influence contemporary American society and economic structures.
