SECTION THREE: DECODING A POLITICAL CARTOON

The student offers an
analytic, thorough
interpretation of the political
cartoon. Work is thorough,
insightful, and often
speculative and may take
risks to include unusual
interpretations of symbols,
characters, and events. The
student appears to be
engaged by the cartoon.
ACCOMPLISHED
The student offers a logical
interpretation of the political
cartoon. Goes beyond
retelling, to offer some
analysis and well-developed
interpretation of symbols,
characters, and events. The
student appears to interact
with the cartoon confidently.
ACCOMPLISHED
EXEMPLARY
The student offers a
narrow or superficial
interpretation of the political
cartoon.Focuses on retelling,
with limited analysis and
evidence. Responses tend to
be broad, undeveloped
generalizations. References
to symbols, characters, and
events are often not fully
developed. The student is
focused on understanding the
cartoon rather than providing
an analysis.
The student is unable to offer
a logical interpretation
of the political cartoon. The
response is often very
short, with little evidence
or development, and may
misinterpret key features such
as symbols, characters, or
events. Appears to struggle to
understand the cartoon, with
little success.

a. What is the main issue?
b. What devices are used (e.g., symbolism, dark/light, caricature, words, analogy, size of figures, and
stereotypes).
c. What is the cartoonist’s point of view? (go back to see Question #17 as an example) How can you tell?
d. How effective is the cartoon?
After thinking about all these questions and forming responses, interpret the cartoon by writing up your analysis in a
paragraph.
