    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 425 108 SO 029 595 AUTHOR Heitzmann, William Ray TITLE The Power of Political Cartoons in Teaching History. Occasional Paper. INSTITUTION National Council for History Education, Inc., Westlake, OH. PUB DATE 1998-09-00 NOTE 10p. AVAILABLE FROM National Council for History Education, 26915 Westwood Road, Suite B-2, Westlake, OH 44145-4657; Tel: 440-835-1776. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Cartoons; Elementary Secondary Education; Figurative Language; *History Instruction; *Humor; Illustrations; Instructional Materials; *Literary Devices; *Satire; Social Studies; United States History; Visual Aids; World History IDENTIFIERS *Political Cartoons ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the ability of the political cartoon to enhance history instruction. A trend in recent years is for social studies teachers to use these graphics to enhance instruction. Cartoons have the ability to:(1) empower teachers to demonstrate excellence during lessons; (2) prepare students for standardized tests containing cartoon questions;(3) promote critical thinking as in the Bradley Commission's suggestions for developing "History's Habits of the Mind;"(4) develop students' multiple intelligences, especially those of special needs learners; and (5) build lessons that aid students to master standards of governmental or professional curriculum organizations. The article traces the historical development of the political cartoon and provides examples of some of the earliest ones; the contemporary scene is also represented. Suggestions are given for use of research and critical thinking skills in interpreting editorial cartoons. The caricature and symbolism of political cartoons also are explored. An extensive reference section provides additional information and sources for political cartoons.

  • Rube Goldberg Machines
    Rube Goldberg Machines Submitted by: Edward Gunkle, 8th Grade Science Miff-West High School, Middleburg, PA Target Grade: 8th Grade, Science Time Required: 6 days, 40-50 minute lessons Standards Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): • MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. • MS-PS3-5: Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. Lesson Objectives Students will be able to: • Identify and describe the 6 basic simple machines. • Explain the mechanical advantage of simple machines. • Analyze and explain the relationship between potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy present in a compound machine. • Apply understanding of simple machines and energy transfer to design and build a compound machine to complete a predetermined task. • Write a Rube Goldberg machine explanation to describe the machine's actions. Central Focus This lesson can be used as hands-on practice with simple machines and the concepts of energy transfers. Students will be collaborating together to design a working Rube Goldberg machine to complete the simple tasks of popping a balloon or stapling papers together. In the project, they will use their knowledge of different types of energy, how energy is transferred, and simple machines to design their multi-step machine. Key Words: physics, create, makerspace, blueprints, engineering design process, potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy Background Information A Rube Goldberg (RG) machine is a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way, relying on chain reactions.

  • The Art of Rube Goldberg
    current past articles swifts & slows submit The Art of Rube Goldberg Ron Morosan January 2020 The Art of Rube Goldberg The Queens Museum Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, New York thru February 9, 2020 Rube Goldberg: Is He a Comic Genius? This is the question I had in mind as I took the #7 train to the Mets-Willets Point stop to see a comprehensive exhibition of the widely syndicated cartoonist and humorist Rube Goldberg, on view at the Queens Museum until February 9th, 2020. Some may ask: Who is Rube Goldberg? As one of the few people whose name is in the Merriam Webster dictionary describing a mechanical sequence of events that makes something simple, like closing a door, into a complex series of actions that are patently absurd and wildly humorous, today his name and cartoons do not get a lot of media play. Yet, his influence on other artists and filmmakers from Charlie Chaplin to Mad Magazine contributors is extensive. In this first retrospective exhibition of Goldberg’s work since 1970, the year he died, the whole range of his long career is on display in two galleries, which even include an outstanding drawing he made at the age of eleven. Best know for his Inventions Cartoons, the elaborate cartoon illustrations of absurd chain reactions that got his name in the dictionary, he was wildly creative as a comic illustrator and through his long career worked as a vaudeville comedian, political cartoonist, comic writer, sculptor, TV show host, and commercial novelty product developer. The Queens Museum exhibition shows a sampling of the full range and variety of his ideas and skills, from his Foolish Questions, his first big success in 1908, to his political commentary drawings from the 1940’s when he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and also some of his commercial forays into popular consumer novelties.

This thesis presents an evolution of Appalachian representations—or, more appropriately, a chronology of images in stasis, as they seem to have remained fairly unchanged over time. Responses to those images, however, have changed greatly. Most importantly, responses from within Appalachia have transformed, with regional people gaining power over the types of images of the region in popular culture.
