Your turn As a group, come up with a modern issue (try to make it politics-related) that you feel needs to be exposed and/or reformed. Create a political cartoon that illustrates this problem. Color your cartoon and use unlined paper. Refer to the chart on the back of your paper re: techniques commonly used in political cartoons. You are welcome to borrow symbols from Thomas Nast if you feel they would suit your needs. All group members must contribute!
