Instructional Ideas

  • Flip the class by assigning some of the handouts as homework

Classroom Considerations

  • Coincides with the "Once Upon a Dime" cartoon and expects both resources to instruct the subject at the same time
  • Potential to take more time than suggested depending on your individual class

Pros

  • Builds on valuable research and media literacy skills
  • Includes a project-based learning experience where scholars create an interactive timeline or newspaper article

Cons

  • None
