Mr. Stone gave each student a newspaper and pointed out the typical location of political cartoons on the opinion/editorial/op-ed page usually located near the back of the first section of most daily American newspapers.
Students were directed to label a new page in their journals: "Political Cartoon." Before cutting out a political cartoon from their newspapers, they were instructed to write down the name of the newspaper they received (New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Press Enterprise, The Sun, or USA Today), the publication date, and the section and page number where the cartoon was located.
After cutting out the cartoon, they were to paste it in their journal.
Mr. Stone described the three most common techniques of description: naming, detailing, and comparing.
Homework: Read "In These Girls, Hope Is a Muscle," a book review by Steve Gietschier (715-716).
