We are going to continue practicing breaking down Political Cartoons and making sense out of them! Keep using the skills you already have to make meaning out of the cartoon, and today, focus on these specific areas to help break it down even more. The artist of every political cartoon makes choices about what words and colors and images to use to help you connect the source to a bigger issue.

1. Color

2. Text

3. Symbolism

4. Speech bubbles

5. What does the cartoon assume I know?
