Synopsis

Political cartoon image analysis workbook for U.S. History highlighting Exploration-Reconstruction. This book is intended to give students an understanding of historical content covered in 8th-9th grade U.S. history. Each political cartoon has its own graphic organizer, a summary of the historical context, and analysis questions for students to answer.

Political cartoons are in most of today’s textbooks. However, even adults can have a hard time decoding the meaning. Providing opportunities for students to learn to decipher and understand political cartoons can:

  • Give a more personal view of historical events
  • Provide opportunities to develop critical thinking skills
  • Encourage building connections to the past
  • Provide a picture which can be less intimidating than text
  • Illustrate contemporary attitudes toward key events in history
  • Allow practice in identifying persuasive techniques/bias
