Description

School Begins was created by Louis Dalrymple and first appeared in Puck magazine on January 25, 1899. Published shortly after the Spanish-American War, the cartoon was originally intended to support America’s continued expansion and promote the idea that it was the responsibility of the United States to “civilize” the inhabitants of its newly-acquired territories.

The download includes the following:

1. A PowerPoint - complete with discussion notes for each slide - that teachers can use to lead students through the cartoon.

2. An introductory paragraph that describes the circumstances behind the cartoon.

3. A full-size picture of the cartoon, allowing students to label as instructed.

4. A graphic organizer that assists students in identifying different parts of the cartoon, analyzing symbols, and determining the meaning of the cartoon.

5. A series of questions based on the political cartoon.

6. An answer key.

For those seeking distance learning options, the assignment associated with the cartoon can be readily converted to a digital activity using Google Slides.

This resource can also be purchased as part of a bundle I have posted on Amped Up Learning: Political Cartoons in American History.

I continue to add cartoons related to United States History. I use these resources in my own class room and am certain you will find these a valuable addition to your curriculum.
