Cartoons for the Classroom: Earthquake in Haiti

Trying to expand your scholars' perspectives to think globally? Use this critical-analysis handout. A poignant political cartoon points out the devastation required to get U.S. attention focused on helping Haiti. Background information gives context, and 3 talking points guide attention to detail. Pupils consider how long attention will remain on Haiti- this can be adjusted as a look back on how long attention did last, and whether it could even be considered a trend.
