Text Cartooning Political and Social Issues

TLF ID A003790

In this lesson, students will examine the role of cartoons play in presenting viewpoints about political or social issues. Students gather and organize information about a current or past issue and analyze the different sides. They plan, design, and illustrate a political cartoon that presents a position on a political or social issue. While this resource focuses on the content of American politics, the activities are relevant to Australian classrooms.
