Editorial Cartoons

Did your picture paint a thousand words?

Given that you have written persuasive essays in the past, was it easier or harder for you to use a visual image to get others to adopt your point of view?

How could you use the resources in this WebQuest to visually and verbally form, create, analyze and communicate information in other subjects such as art, social studies, science, and math?

If you have some additional technology like Photo-Shop on your home computer, you might want to try using the site listed below, "How to Make a Political Cartoon with a Computer." It offers some great tips for using various technology tools to create professional-looking cartoons. I am hopeful you will use the cartoon format beyond this WebQuest to share your ideas in a less-conventional format than you're used to. Try it on your parents next time you want to have a friend over or have them drive you to the mall! Make an image; it might even get a laugh out of them!
