Cartoons for the Classroom: Who Drew it Best?

Assess the Cash for Clunkers program with your scholars through 3 political cartoons, which they will analyze to determine who drew it best. Background information helps pupils gain context to assess the cartoons, and 3 talking points guide deeper analysis. They consider which of the cartoons may be considered a gag cartoon, complete detail analysis, and unpack the humor to understand more of the point the cartoonists have made. Consider extending by creating cartoons on a current issue.
