Disney's movie "Newsies" is a GREAT tool to teach the Industrial Revolution/Progressive Era to students! It highlights many important issues, like urbanization, yellow journalism, child labor, and price gouging by big businesses. In addition, students love it!

This is a viewing guide that will help your students understand the movie and look at the historical significance of the era protrayed! *NEW* The viewing guide now has a key!
