Thing 6

I chose to upload this Winslow Homer sketch of rugby pioneers for two reasons. First , I will be traveling to a workshop on American Art next week and I have grown fond of Winslow Homer's seascapes and was less familiar with his work for Harper's Weekly. The second reason I chose this particularly photo is because I imagine that this is the type of primary evidence my students will want to engage. Flickr provides students with access to primary sources and the ability to be an eyewitness to history. I could not believe this 1865 sketch was available through Common license so long as I provide attribution ( it was uploaded by Frederic Humbert as part of his rugby-pioneers.com photostream and also belongs to USA Rugby) A long long time ago in a galaxy far away I was once a rugby player and this is just how I remember it.
