Conclusion |
|
|
Classes should benefit from one or
all of the suggestions for activities noted above. Encouraging
students to muck about in illustrations and cartoons will alert them
to a significant historical source which otherwise they might
overlook. For some students with difficulty reading, this sort of an
assignment might prove a blessing. For students who are forced to
confront the prejudices and biases of an important mid-nineteenth
century magazine, this experience could be an eye-opener. |

I make one more suggestion, which
I include last because it is peculiar to my way of teaching and not
one which I suspect many teachers share. Give all of this work or
whatever portion you choose, before you teach the Civil War in your
class. If you do so, the students will come to your class armed. Thats
a bad pun, but I mean it. |
