We started working on how to read political cartoons this week, and we’ll continue to work on analyzing and interpreting cartoons through the end of the semester.
Here’s a website that discusses a bit of the history of political cartoons, as well as provides some examples of cartoons from different time periods. http://historyofpoliticalcartoons.weebly.com/
Remember to check out local newspapers and news sites for current examples of political cartoons. Bring your favorites to class or post links to them in the comments section!
