Mr. Stone reviewed the expectations for the two political cartoon journal entries.
The first entry should be titled "Political Cartoon" and contain the name of the newspaper, its publication date, the section letter and page number where the cartoon was located, and the actual cartoon pasted to the page.
The second entry should be titled "Political Cartoon Prewriting." This page should be fully filled with a description of the cartoon. Students should highlight their use of the three primary description techniques: naming, detailing, and comparing. The names used to describe the people, places, things, ideas, and actions found in the cartoon should be highlighted blue. The adjectives and adverbs that provide details about these items should be highlighted yellow. The similes and metaphors used should be highlighted orange.
Mr. Stone checked to see if students brought their book report book to class.
Homework: Type a rough draft of your description of your political cartoon for your imaginary visually-impaired friend. Use the drafting directions found to the right on this blog under the heading description.
