Students of grade 8 have been learning about source study as part of their history class. . They were divided into groups and were asked to illustrate the message of the source via a cartoon. They put their grey cells to work and came up with cartoons depicting various events that they recently studied about for examle – The Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima, Battle of Midway, the Holocaust, Impact of war- Rationing and Dig for Victory Campaign, The Berlin Blockade and the Berlin Airlift.
This activity developed a better understanding of analysing a source as well as the message of the source.
