Last assignment before starting the final project on Monday. Writing grade.
Due by Sunday night at midnight. No work will be accepted after that time. That gives you three class days, which in itself should be enough, or time to look at basketball games and prom shoes in class and something to occupy yourself over the weekend.This also will allow those going on the senior trip enough time. Please be mindful that this is a writing grade; that means its value goes in the 50% weight category.
Below you will find 10 editorial cartoons. Look them over and select five of them, analyzing each in a paragraph of a minimum of 100 words. (That would be two typed pages double spaced; so it really is not much) Please use the following criteria. Begin with the topic, theme, any captions and historical connections you note. Next discuss the person, issue or situation being illustrated and any connection to current events. Look at the cartoon carefully and observe whether it is a realistic characterization, or a total fabrication and misrepresentation of the "facts". Is the artist depicting an assumed situation, a hypothetical construction for the purposes of a general commentary on current events? What does the artist attempt to communicate with her or his art? Finally, what does the cartoon mean to you personally?
