I have taught English Composition at the college level, as well as AP Literature, AP Language, American Literature, World Literature, and Drama at the high school level.
I have used this painting as both an entrance ticket and part of a gallery walk in my AP Language and American Literature class. It would be useful also in U.S. History. The painting and questions help students think about accuracy in how Natives are represented and provoke thought about the effects of the Trail of Tears on the Native American population.
I have used these questions and activities in my 10th grade AP Language classroom. Students read a 1000-word excerpt from Ian Frazier's Wile E. Coyote v Acme (this is available in my TpT as a separate download). Then, they answer multiple choice questions, do a vocabulary matching activity, and choose a short-answer response to complete. It is a great way to practice argumentation techniques and tone in a humorous piece.
