Three analysis worksheets designed to help students think critically as they carefully examine posters promoting the WPA, the CCC, and the Social Security program -- key elements of FDR's New Deal legislation intended to help the United States rise above the Great Depression!
About These New Deal Primary Analysis Worksheets
Using primary sources in class is a powerful way to illustrate history and bring it to life. When it comes to the New Deal, there's a huge wealth of primary sources in the form of propaganda posters readily available via image searches.
The trouble with just using the images in class, however, is that all too often, students will simply glance at the poster before claiming to thoroughly understand it. Even when assigned to write a paragraph about a New Deal propaganda poster, students may only explore the most obvious points instead of delving deeper.
A Focus on Analysis, not Just Observation!
These New Deal Primary Source Propaganda worksheets ask students to do more than just note what images and text exist in the New Deal posters under study. They also require students to determine WHY certain text and image elements were included, using questions that explore issues such as:
• What caused the artist to use a certain color scheme?
• What was the propaganda poster creator trying to communicate by including certain image elements?
• How does the overall look of the poster create a message of inclusion or exclusion from certain government programs and policies?
• What do various design elements imply about the program or policy in question?
Teacher Convenience Features
• Three separate worksheets, each one focusing on a specific New Deal program.
• Each worksheet includes a complete rendering of the poster under study along with six multiple choice questions for students to answer.
• Two of the posters included are full-color, while one was created only in black and white.
• Full answer keys are included for each worksheet.
• Multiple choice means FAST correcting!
• Includes two follow-up project ideas!
Help your students master key information about ancient Greece's two most famous city-states: Athens and Sparta!
Most world history textbooks give an overview of the two city-states, but few take the next step of helping students compare and contrast them in detail. The more we can get students to think critically, the more they will learn and remember, and these worksheets are designed with that principle in mind.
To that end, this packet includes several resources:
• A compare/contrast chart with dozens of descriptors about ancient Greece. For each, students identify if the description matches Athens, Sparta, or both.
• A set of 26 follow-up questions about Athens, with many of them designed to reinforce key content vocabulary such as democracy, tyrant, and oligarchy. Others take basic information about Athens and work in additional supporting details to give students a clearer picture of ancient Greece.
• A set of 26 follow-up questions about Sparta, with many of them designed to reinforce key vocabulary also. Emphasis is given to the military aspect of life in Sparta, but other topics, including their unusual system of government, are covered as well.
• Full answer keys to all activities.
All follow-up questions are multiple-choice.
Whether you are studying the ancient world in detail or quickly reviewing it as part of a "evolution of modern government" emphasis, these Athens and Sparta activity worksheets will help your students gain more insight into the Golden Age of Greece.
