کاربرگ Primary Source Analysis: "Join, or Die" Cartoon

Use this social studies worksheet to give students practice analyzing primary sources while learning a bit about Colonial America during the French and Indian War. In this two-page worksheet, students will first read background information and examine Benjamin Franklin's use of the political cartoon, “Join, or Die.” Learners will then be asked to refer back to the text and specific elements of the cartoon to answer comprehension and analysis questions. This engaging exercise provides guided exploration of Colonial America in the 1750s and explores how a powerful image can communicate a political message: unity.
