BACKGROUND: We have been discussing the Second Amendment for a few days. Time to take what we know about the views regarding the Second Amendment and apply them to the language of Political Cartoons.
THE PROJECT: You will be analyzing a group of POLITICAL CARTOONS regarding the 2nd Amendment. You will look for key characteristics in the cartoons and deciding what the mesage of each cartoon is. This will allow you to not only get better at understanding political cartoons, but it will also give you a better understanding of the arguments on both sides of the 2nd Amendment debate.
PERTINENT INFORMATION: Here is a link to the ANALYZING POLITICAL CARTOONS LECTURE.
