• The student pairs now meet with another student
  pair to discuss the selection and decide upon the
  one big idea.
• Students work individually to free write for 5
  minutes and explain what they know about the one
  big idea.
• Students regroup and share their free writing.

During the 1800s poor people in many American
cities lived and worked in crowded filthy
tenements. People continued to move to the
cities, so greedy landlords built more and more
tenements. The filthy living and working
conditions meant people suffered from many
diseases. During the late 1800s and early
1900s tens of thousands of people moved to New
York and other cities. Immigrants came through
Ellis Island, and poor people from rural areas
came to the cities in search of work. To handle
these crowds of people, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, and Buffalo put up tenement housing.
Greedy landlords turned buildings into housing
for the poor. Not only did the people need
places to live, but they also needed places to
work. Since they didnt have transportation,
many of the tenements also became places of work.
The garment industry and cigar making industry
set up sweat shops in the tenements. Some
families worked in their kitchens at menial jobs.
The tenements did not have good ventilation or
enough clean water, so disease spread rapidly.
Tuberculosis, whooping cough, and other air borne
diseases spread from person to person. Unfortunat
ely, many people who move to America today still
live in tenements. Overcrowding makes life in
urban areas dangerous for the poor.

conditions meant people suffered from many
diseases. During the late 1800s and early

came through Ellis Island, and poor people from
rural areas came to the cities in search of work.
To handle these crowds of people, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, and Buffalo put up tenement
housing. Greedy landlords turned stores,
warehouses, and cellars into housing for the
poor. Not only did the people need places to
live, but they also needed places to work. Since
they didnt have transportation, many of the
tenements also became places of work. The
garment industry and cigar making industry set up
sweat shops in the tenements. Some families
worked in their kitchens at menial jobs such as
shelling nuts or doing laundry. The tenements
did not have good ventilation or enough clean
water, so disease spread rapidly. Tuberculosis,
whooping cough, and other air borne diseases
spread from person to person. Unfortunately,
many people who move to America today still live
in tenements. Overcrowding makes life in urban
areas dangerous for the poor.
