Pbs Teachers: Benjamin Franklin: An Extraordinary Life (Teacher's Guide)

Go directly to the teaching resource that accompanies the PBS series "Benjamin Franklin: An Extraordinary Life, An Electric Mind" to find eight lesson plans that support the study of Benjamin Franklin and his place in history. Lessons touch on a wide range of Franklin-related topics, such as the role of almanacs and advertising in colonial America and Franklin's many noms de plum. Should be of particular interest to instructors who favor applied, multidisciplinary approaches to learning that require high degrees of original thought.
