Harper, John; And Others – Social Education, 1996
Utilizes a 1775 political cartoon as the centerpiece of a lesson on political controversy and violence in Colonial America. The cartoon, printed in Britain, lampooned the coercive measures directed at Tory merchants. Learning activities include an extensive analysis of the cartoon, discussions, and timelines. (MJP)

Brown, Barbara B. – Social Education, 1996
Presents a series of class activities designed to counteract stereotypes of other people. Includes a hilarious parody of an anthropological study of the Nacirema (American spelled backwards). Satirizes American personal hygiene rituals, modern medical practices, and ethnocentric assumptions. (MJP)
