Tips:

Go back to the Cagle website. As was suggested earlier, "to study political cartoons is to study history in the making". Choose ONE of the cartoons from the site to research the event / incident / person behind the cartoon.

You MUST choose a cartoon with WORDS.

  • Your research must involve at least three different sources.
    • If your research is conducted entirely online, your sources must be from at least three different websites, and not just three pages from within the same site.
  • The result of your research will be a paper which presents details that would help viewers to understand the cartoon. Explain
    • the incident
    • who was involved
    • the significance of the event
    • why the cartoonist chose to create the cartoon
  • The position you present will be, "This was an important cartoon to draw."
  • You must document your sources in a Bibliography at the end of your research report. Use the EasyBib tool to help you do this.
  • Do NOT plagiarize!!
