Summer 2011 in CartoonsASSESSING CARTOONS

• Assess the CONTENT (SSTIC Method):

• S – Size: Is anything over/under sized? If so, why?

• S – Symbols: Look for people, objects, or symbols you should recognize

• T – Text: Read everything! Labelled items become metaphors.

• I – Imagery: Is the cartoonist trying to create a certain mood?

• C – Colour: Is colour used? Are the colours representative of anything?

• Assess the MEANING:• What is the point / message of this cartoon?• What is the current event? Why is it significant?
