Newspapers in Education and the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists provide a fortnightly lesson on editorial cartoons entitled Cartoons in the Classroom.
The series takes a look at several cartoons and educates students on the literacy of cartooning – how to read, dissect and analyze the symbolism and underlining meaning of cartoons, often drawing attention to differing conclusions.
Even though I’m long past the target age, I still think it’s fun to look at the lessons and see how what we do can be viewed in so many different ways from different eyes (and I just realized that my blog entry about Koterba’s and Cagle’s Barry Bonds cartoons was mentioned in the latest lesson).
