A political cartoon is a type of drawing used to present opinions, comments, or

Your Turn: You are to take an issue here at school and turn it into a editorial cartoon similar to the ones we have just studied. The cartoon can cover nearly anything from school food, to uniforms, class time, between class time, school sports, etc. DO NOT use individual
names. Use only one sheet of 8x10 ditto paper which will be supplied. The cartoon must be
in black ink. You will NOT be graded on artistic ability, but on cartoon content.
