The picture is from The Nation. 230 years and a big difference in the concept of what fighting for freedom is all about. I got very ambitious and took the audio from part of McCullough's book and matched it up with the matching text (available online as the "free first chapter excerpt option" on many sites). The text was converted into an image via a screenshot and then I went harvesting for images that the text suggested. Such a task could be given as a student assignment. Finding the matching images reinforces the meaning of new vocabulary.
