Accessible political cartoon for 6th graders?
by curiositycat
Dec 2, 2010
I teach eighth-grade U.S. history at an independent school, and this Saturday I've been asked to present to prospective seventh graders at our annual open house. I'm supposed to a do a quick, enjoyable activity with the kids, and I'd like to do a TACOS analysis (a pre-AP strategy) of a political cartoon. The ones I currently use in my class need too much background info for this particular group of kids. Anyone have a good recommendation for a cartoon that would be accessible for sixth graders? It can be something relatively current or something a bit older.

Thanks!

SC Teacher No More Go to google, search images for "political cartoons for kids" (use quotation marks to limit search). I would think you'd find something appropriate there.

Good luck!

curiositycat The pickings were a bit slim for a cartoon that would work in the ten minutes I have to present, but I did find one of Obama giving the statute of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial a fist bump. Our sixth-grade teacher said it would be perfect for that age group and the time allotted, so I'm good to go. Thanks!
