Charles Guiteau: Cover Art and more
I have had this old book for a while and decided to scan in a few pages. The book covers the life of Charles Guiteau, his assassination of President Garfield, along with Guiteau's trial, and execution. Enjoy the images. The cover art is not very PC; is it?

DAWES ACT: an interactive approach
When I teach history to high school or college age students, I maximize the efficient use of visuals. We are all visual learners, no matter what your textual reading level. So, why not engage everyone in your classroom with visuals? First, I teach students how to perform a discovery based learning method -- VTS -- and then I have them use ThingLink to share their findings about the image with the class. Take a peek at this one. Drag your cursor over the "tags" on the image to see what I am talking about.

Reconstruction Era: Visual Teaching andLearning
When I teach history to high school or college age students, I maximize the efficient use of visuals. We are all visual learners, no matter what your textual reading level. So, why not engage everyone in your classroom with visuals? This is an image loaded with symbolism. In order to understand the symbolism behind each piece of this image, I teach students how to perform a discovery based learning method -- VTS -- and then I have them use ThingLink to share their findings about the image with the class. Take a peek at this one. Drag your cursor over the "tags" on the image to see what I am talking about.
