10. Your turn
As a group, come up with a modern issue (try to make it politics-related) that you feel needs to be exposed and/or reformed.
Create a political cartoon that illustrates this problem. Color your cartoon and use unlined paper.
Refer to the chart on the back of your paper re: techniques commonly used in political cartoons.
You are welcome to borrow symbols from Thomas Nast if you feel they would suit your needs.
All group members must contribute!
