Cartoon Analysis Being able to Analyze (identify and state the deeper, below the surface meaning in something) is an important Social Studies Skill. Political Cartoons are a common way to tackle difficult ideas in history. Today we are going to learn an advanced technique for analyzing political cartoons. You will use this technique all Semester.

Analyze: 1. To examine carefully and in detail so as to identify connections, causes, key factors, possible results, etc. 2. To break down

B.A.S.I.C Cartoon Analysis B ackground A rgument S ymbolism I rony C aricature

Background What background information do you have that could help you understand what is going on? What is the historical context in which the cartoon was produced?

Argument What argument is the author of the cartoon making? What is the main point of the Thesis of the cartoon?

Symbolism A symbol is something that represents or stands for something else (Uncle Sam stands for the US) What do these symbols represent?

Irony Irony is when something happens that is inconsistent (absurd or laughable) from what might be expected to happen.

Caricature A drawing or description that exaggerates something’s or someone’s characteristics Adds humor Draws your attention to something What is exaggerated helps you understand the political carton’s message

Following the B.A.S.I.C. Process 1.First identify the Symbols 2.Next, describe the elements in the cartoon that are Caricatures 3.Thirdly, explain the Irony in the cartoon 4.Then write the Background of the cartoon, what history is represented? 5.Finally, what Argument is the cartoonist making? This is not just the history. What is the cartoonist’s view on the history?

Analyze Political Cartoons of WWII using the BASIC method Symbolism: _________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Caricature: __________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Irony:______________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Background:________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Argument: __________________________________________ ___________________________________________________
