Description
This biography of Thomas Nast focuses on his work in creating the modern versions of both Santa Claus and the symbol of the elephant for the Republican Party, his sketches and battlefield maps during the Civil War, and, most importantly, his role in helping to expose the corruption of William "Boss" Tweed and the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City.
The biography includes a series of questions based on the reading.
In using this in my own class room, students are encouraged to:
1. Number the paragraphs
2. Read the biography
3. Highlight answers in the reading
4. Use complete sentences
The answer key demonstrates these steps.
