Developed by Olivia Wood, The City College of New York

This teaching material was developed as a result of the CUNY 1969 Teach-in & Retreat that took place in Summer 2023. The assignment asks students to create one or more visual social media posts to create a collective class newspaper responding to issues relating to City College and CUNY in conversation with real students and teachers from the past, using the CUNY 1969 Project.
