      Further Learning.....Homework

      Remember the steps to interpreting a Cartoon - how to unpack a cartoon BEFORE answering the questions. Use this method with the cartoon below:

      The following prompts will help guide your thinking and unpacking the cartoon…..

      • If the cartoonist used labels, what things in the cartoon are labeled? Why do you think the cartoonist chose to label those things? 

      • If the cartoonist used symbolism, what things in the cartoon are symbols? What do they stand for?

      • If the cartoonist used an analogy, what two ideas or situations are compared? How does this comparison help the viewer see the complex situation in a different way? 

      • If the cartoonist used irony, what does the cartoonist show about the way things are? How does the cartoonist think things should be? 

      • If the cartoonist used exaggeration, what objects, people, or ideas are exaggerated? What point is made by exaggerating them? 

      • If the cartoonist used stereotypes, what stereotypes are presented? How do these add to the message of the cartoon?
