Dividing and conquering the elusive world of editorial cartoons into themes elementary students can appreciate, this unusual guide begins by presenting six popular comic strips which provide lessons in courage, honesty, and wisdom.
Subsequent units introduce editorial cartoons, with step-by-step instructions to help students understand elements the cartoonist uses in political and social commentary: symbols, exaggeration and caricature, and humor and irony. The 12 lessons include questions and activities to help students interpret cartoons—from “Join, or Die” to a commentary on TV violence—and to produce their own.
