2. What is a Political Cartoon?  It is a funny way of making a point  Also it has many steps to it

3. Step One: Know about the Topic  To make a cartoon you must know about the topic  Do some research…READ A BOOK!  Talk to someone that might know the subject  Read a hand out  EX: my topic is the Punic wars

5. Brainstorming  The pre-write is one of the most important parts of a cartoon  Here you Brainstorm to try to find a point and/or a joke  You can use any type of brainstorming way you would like  Final select a Idea you like the best

6. Example: Punic Wars

7. Rough Draft  A rough draft is a Rough draft, it should not be perfect  A rough draft should be full of marks, edited, and foot notes  It may be smart to have a friend to read it over to make sure that it is correct, and make sense.

8. Format  It needs:  A title (top)  The first person to talk’s word bubble must be on top  Name (bottom right corner  Clear and easy to understand  Drawings (OF COURSE!)
