Cartoons for the Classrooms: Wall Street Financial Meltdown

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Combine two current events (2008) in one political cartoon. This handout examines the Large Hadron Collider, a scientific invention that caused a sudden fear of black holes, and the financial meltdown on Wall Street. Background information helps pupils "read between the lines," and 3 talking points (could be writing points) guide analysis of the cartoon. The cartoon involves juxtaposition, and learners are prompted to analyze its use, to juxtapose other current issues.
