Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Jackie's personality, its origins and its influence on his ultimate success, may be of interest. Links to the Civil Rights era in the U.S. may also be productive. Learners may want to compare Jackie with others who broke the color barrier in the 40s and 50s, perhaps through use of a Venn Diagram.
