Looking to Foreign Lands (4 min.) The Story of the U.S.S. Maine (4 min.) Resistance at the Alamo (5 min.) Crossing the Northern Border (35 min.) Onscreen Questions Why did the United States look to Latin America for new territory? How did the media contribute to America s involvement in the Spanish-American War?

Lesson Plan Student Objectives Review the role that newspapers played in the start of the Spanish-American War. Select and explain a political cartoon about the war. Compare the role of the press in the late 1800s with its role today. Materials Battling Beyond U.S. Borders program Computer with Internet access
2 Teacher s Guide 2 Procedures 1. After watching the program, review the role newspapers played in the start of the Spanish- American War. (Some popular American newspapers had already been attacking Spain s rule in Cuba. When the U.S.S. Maine, which was anchored off Cuba, exploded in 1898, these papers were quick to blame Spain for the explosion. They helped turn public opinion against Spain and sparked war fever around the country. The U.S. declared war, launching the Spanish-American War.) 2. Explain that much of this sensational reporting appeared in two newspapers the New York Journal, owned by William Randolph Hearst, and the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. In the late 1800s, these two papers were in a fierce newspaper war. To compete for readers and profits, the papers often sensationalized and exaggerated stories. They used large, dramatic headlines and graphics, and the stories often reflected the owners personal bias or the public s growing patriotism rather than the facts. This type of journalism became known as yellow journalism. Show the class a few examples of sensational front-page headlines from the period: Crucible of Empire: The Spanish-American War (select Headline Gallery) 3. Next, tell students that newspapers also tried to influence public opinion through political cartoons. Many cartoons reflected the same pro-war sentiment as the stories in Hearst s and Pulitzer s newspapers. These cartoons played an important role in fueling anti-spanish sentiment in the country. However, other cartoons of the time reflected a growing uneasiness with or sometimes anger about America s imperialism in the world. Show students the following cartoons and discuss their portrayal of Spain: The Spanish Brute Spanish Politeness Spanish Misrule 4. Explain that after exploring the political cartoons at the following Web sites, students will select and print a cartoon and then write a few sentences explaining its message. Have students place their cartoons and explanations on a single page. Life During Wartime: Cartoons from Life Magazine, Cartoons of the Spanish-American War Cartoons of Our War with Spain Crucible of Empire: The Spanish-American War (select Cartoon Gallery)
3 Teacher s Guide 3 5. Hang students pages in a gallery or make photocopies so that each student has a book to explore on his or her own. 6. Discuss the influence today s press has on politics and public opinion. Ask students: In what section of the paper are political cartoons found today? What makes an effective cartoon? Are you influenced by political cartoons? Why or why not? Although the term yellow journalism is rarely used today, the press is often accused of media bias. What is media bias? What are some examples of it? Assessment Use the following three-point rubric to evaluate students work during this lesson. 3 points: Students were active in class discussions; demonstrated a strong understanding of the influence of the press in the Spanish-American War; wrote clear, logical explanations for their selected cartoons; were able to compare and discuss the influence of today s press. 2 points: Students participated in class discussions; demonstrated a satisfactory understanding of the influence of the press in the Spanish-American War; wrote complete, adequate explanations for their selected cartoons; were able to draw simple comparisons and discuss the influence of today s press. 1 point: Students did not participate in class discussions; demonstrated a weak understanding of the influence of the press in the Spanish-American War; wrote unclear or unpersuasive explanations for their selected cartoons; had difficulty comparing and discussing the influence of today s press.

American expansionism at the turn of the century yielded new economic, political, and cultural opportunities. It also reinforced America s position as a global power, especially in Latin America.
6 Teacher s Guide 6 II. The Story of the U.S.S. Maine (4 min.) The U.S.S. Maine guarded American interests in Cuba during its revolt against Spain, and its explosion triggered the Spanish-American War. When Spain was defeated, Cuba gained its independence. III. Resistance at the Alamo (5 min.) Vastly outnumbered, Texas rebels battled the great Mexican General Santa Ana in a heroic last stand. Later Texas gained its independence and was annexed by the United States. IV. Crossing the Northern Border (35 min.) Marcelo Ayala, 17, crosses the Mexican border in search of work. Meet the Ayala family on both sides of the border, and discover their patriotism, their strong familial bonds, and their desire for a better life. Curriculum Units 1. America s Expanding Influence Q: Why would countries want to expand beyond their borders? Q: What purpose did American expansionism serve in the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries? A: The United States helped Cuba gain its independence from Spain, and after the Spanish- American War, it gained Puerto Rico and the Philippines among its Spanish territories. The U.S. also built the Panama Canal, which linked the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and improved global trade. This also made it easier for the U.S. Navy to travel around the world to protect American interests. 2. Remember the Maine! Q: What can happen when people jump to conclusions? Q: How did the media influence the United States decision to declare war on Spain? A: The American media often portrayed Spain as evil and its leaders as inhuman. When the U.S.S. Maine exploded, newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst blamed Spain and got the public to support the story. The outcry eventually caused President McKinley to declare war.
