The Advanced Placement U.S. History students embarked on a project known as progressive speed dating. The activity required that each student choose a character from the early 20th century progressive era, study that character in detail, and then prepare to take on that character's persona during the speed dating activity. It is a fun and interactive activity that is loosely based on what is known as speed dating. But rather than each character attempting to find a romantic match they are instead looking to find a person who would decidedly work well with them during that time in history in achieving one another's cultural, political, or societal goals. The project is an interactive means for students to better acquaint themselves with the diversity of movements and struggles that permeated the Progressive Era in the United States.
