With the November 2020 elections looming; our challenge will be to analyze and learn about issues facing the country through the lens of editorial cartoons. We'll host a presidential debate through contrasting cartoons and memes; we'll mount cartoon face-offs on controversial issues such as immigration; climate change; and gun control; and we'll draw our own editorial cartoons (no artistic ability required!). We'll explore current events through regular small group cartoon-based quizzes; and student teams will produce poster presentations on the major historical event of their choice.
