Friday Oct. 11 Political Cartoon part 2

Good Morning,

Today's political cartoon is much harder, but REALLY important. I'm sure some of you have seen it on stickers or flags or in books.

Print out this sheet:
http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/teachers/lessons/lafollette/pdfs/cartoonquestions.pdf

Use the words on this sheet while answer the questions on the one above.
http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/presentationsandactivities/activities/political-cartoon/cag.html
This link from loc.gov offers some words you MUST use when analyzing the political cartoon below. You don't have to use every word, but at least 3 of them.

Work in groups of 2-4 students and discuss what the cartoon means. TAKE TIME looking at all the words, images, colors. EVERYTHING in a political cartoon was put there on purpose.

Use them when analyzing this cartoon:

Take your time working on this, provide complete sentences and quality answers.

HOMEWORK: If you were not able to finish in class, wrap up this assignment over the weekend.
