Along with Poetry Appreciation Month, April is National Humor Month. A great outlet for humor are cartoons. Political cartoons can be used to highlight uncomfortable situations in the hopes that awareness will change the issue.
Go to the link below (It's No Laughing Matter) and read the information on About This Actitivity and Cartoon Analysis Guide before proceeding to the Learning Activity.
When you have finished, please send a note to me about the techniques that cartoonists use to highlight problems in society.
