Lesson Outline
Emma and I took a history "walk" through the Life Magazine book, 100 Photographs That Changed the World. Focusing on the Society section today, we viewed culturally significant photos and discussed the events surrounding the photos. A few of our mini-discussions included: Promonotory Point; Eugenics; Breaker Boys, 1910; the Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire, 1911; Trampled by the King's Horse, 1913; Lynching, 1930; Migrant Mother, 1936; The Boston Marathon, 1967; Sharpeville, 1960; Selma March, 1965; Birmingham, 1963; and Chicago Democratic Convention, 1968. The concepts we discussed were related to Women's history, Civil Rights, and social progress in the 20th century. We related each photo to modern day issues in the United States and around the world. The goal is for Emma to be able to look at complex issues from multiple perspectives, not only from an historical context, but also through a 2015 lens.
