You will have the opportunity to create your own original opinion/political cartoon. The cartoon must illustrate your opinion on a current topic. Your audience will be your 8th grade class. Create a list of - at least five different topics. This can range from wanting the right to vote to the warning label on video games. Pick the topic that is most important to you and determine your opinion on it. The following images are examples of political cartoons.
1. Climate change and environmental protection
2. Gun control and school shootings
3. Immigration and border control
4. Racial inequality and social justice
5. Education reform and standardized testing
The topic that is most important to me is gun control and school shootings. My opinion on this topic is that stricter gun control laws are necessary in order to prevent further tragedies and protect the lives of innocent people, particularly students.
Therefore, my chosen topic for the original opinion/political cartoon would be gun control and school shootings.
