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!

What Buyers Are Saying:
---This was a great asset to my Constitution materials.
______________________________________________
Liven up your teaching of the American form of government with this guided Constitution worksheet that takes students through the details of Article III, which covers the judicial branch.
I BELIEVE IN CRITICAL THINKING
The worksheet is more than a reading comprehension activity. At key points, it asks students the critical "why?" questions that are so essential to true understanding. To complete the worksheet, students will have to do a close reading of Article III to discover key details, but then they will have to apply critical thinking skills to figure out what reasons the Framers probably had in mind for including certain provisions regarding the judiciary branch.
For example, the Constitution specifies that the pay of judges cannot be lowered during their term of office. No reason for this prohibition is given, but of course there is a very good one. Students are challenged to think for themselves as to why it was a good idea for Congress to lack the power to reduce a judge's paycheck.
Students are also challenged to think through what some of the somewhat advanced vocabulary used in Article III must mean. What are "original jurisdiction" and "appellate jurisdiction?" The Constitution uses the terms without explanation; with this worksheet, students are asked to go beyond the surface level of the text to reach a level of true understanding.
TEACHER CONVENIENCE IS NUMBER ONE WITH ME!
As a teacher myself, I know that you have plenty to do. You need support materials that make your life easier, not harder. When it comes to this Article III Constitution Worksheet, that means:
---The whole worksheet fits on one sheet of paper, front and back. This means that it is quick to copy off a class set, and you won't have to worry about stapling pages by hand if the office copy machine is out of staples. It also means that a set of the worksheets, used year after year if students are directed not to write on them, will take up very little space in your file cabinet.
---A full answer key is provided. It includes not just the bare answer, but also helpful ancillary information to help guide class review and discussion and keep the Constitution interesting.

I BELIEVE IN CRITICAL THINKING
The worksheet is more than a reading comprehension activity. At key points, it asks students the application questions that are so essential to true understanding. To complete the worksheet, students will have to do a close reading of Article IV to discover key details, but then they will have to apply critical thinking skills to figure out, for example, what the Framers meant by "republican" government. The Constitution uses the term without explanation; with this worksheet, students are asked to go beyond the surface of the text to reach a level of true understanding.
