Honors Criteria
If you are signed up for honors credit, your assignment will be slightly different. In addition to creating your own political cartoon and writing a reflection, you will also conduct research in order to find primary sources in the form of political cartoons from the Revolutionary time period. (HINT: it is easier to locate primary sources if you use specific events as your search term. For example: “Boston tea party political cartoon”, “Quartering Act” political cartoon, etc.). Once you have located your primary source, you will need to cite your source and write a reflection explaining the point of view of the political cartoon.
Checklist:
____ Locate a political cartoon from the Revolutionary War time period. This needs to be a true primary source that was created during that time.
____ Copy and paste your cartoon into a Google document. Title it “your name- Honors Political Cartoon.” Share with Ms. Hite.
____ Cite the source from where you found the primary source using www.easybib.com Copy and paste the citation into the Google document. (don’t forget to check the box to show the URL)
____ Write a one paragraph reflection explaining the perspective of the political cartoon. Which perspective does the cartoon display? What feelings does the author hope to invoke from the audience? What evidence from the cartoon leads you to believe this?
