Information Leaks in American History

This lesson has students debate the morality of whistleblowers and information leakers in American history.  They will consider whether such individuals should be viewed as “heroes” or “traitors” by taking part in a classroom debate.  Students may use previous classes to research both sides of the argument before taking a viewpoint.
