This assignment was really fun for me because I see it as an alternative to a handout for students. Ideally, it is the same thing, but the fact that it is in a different format will grab their attention. I also liked the way I ended up breaking up the information using the format of the template. Throwing in Boss Tweed politics also might get them asking questions. It's one of my favorite time periods of history!
Downfalls to this assignment included the fact that that I had more information to put on there, but ran out of space. And there is not really an area for students to take notes because you are limited by the number of pages you can fit in a pamphlet. I will see how the students like it and make adjustments from there. |
