The First Summer Assignment
One of the skills needed for AP World is interpreting art of a particular time or event. Today we look toward political cartoons to explain, interpret or humor us over events occurring in and around the world. Two major political events this year have made a strong impact around the world, the election of Barock Obama as the 1st African American President and the elections in Iran.
American’s often turn to Political cartoons for insights into these events as will you with this assignment.
First, print off two copies of the NARA Cartoon Handout here. This assignment will be expected on the first day of school. I recommend you do it this week and get it out of the way.
Second, pick one political cartoon concerning President Barack Obama and one on the election riots in Iran from these two links. (Do not pick the first one’s that you come to but look around and find something you like.)
You will use the handout’s,following its instructions for each one. (fill them out completely)
