Cartoons in Class

The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists site has the Cartoons for the Classroom section - a good resource to use with upper-intermediate and advanced learners. Teachers are suggested to download the lesson on the cartoon, its blank version for students to write down their own captions and the cartoon evaluation worksheet. The learning standard given are:

Comprehending and evaluating the content and artistic aspects of oral and visual presentations. 
Responding to a variety of written, visual and electronic texts by making connections to students' personal lives and the lives of others; posing social science questions.

There are 235 cartoon lessons in the library now. The teacher can choose the one suitable and either use it as a part of the lesson or create a lesson just around the cartoon.
