10. Background
We have been examine political cartoons since the beginning of the year.
They are considered an important form of expression in the Western world; political cartoonists understand this and use it to their advantage by exaggerating the points they wish to express.
A political cartoon is intended to send a clear message, with clear symbolism, that everyone can understand.
In a time before literacy was common, political cartoons could be used to make a point with very few words
It was a way to share a message with an entire population.
You will now be a political cartoonist to share a point about the beginnings of the Cold War with the population of our class.

11. Directions
You will be given 1 of 18 topics in the beginnings of the Cold War
On paper provided, you make a political cartoon making a commentary on your subject
You must display an image, or images that illustrate the main point(s) of your topic
Use people (caricatures or otherwise), shapes of nations, animals that represent the nations, landmarks, everyday items, etc.
