  1. Analysing Cartoons Using Visual Language to Persuade

  2. What to look for: • What is the issue? • What is the cartoonist suggesting about the issue? • What ‘side’ is the cartoonist on”? How effective do you find this presentation?

  3. What to look for: • Cartoonists often exaggerate details and symbols to make their point dramatically. What exaggeration is going on, if any, in your cartoons? • What textual information do you get about the issue? One well-worn technique is a scrap of paper floating across the cartoon with some words on it, or newspapers piled up.

  4. What to look for: • How are the characters positioned and presented? Is one placed above another? Are they the same size? • What are the facial expressions? What are the characters actually doing? • What props or symbols are apparent and what do they represent?

  5. What to look for: • What background details are evident: a torn flag, a stormy cloud or a disgruntled-looking crowd behind the figures can often provide important visual ‘clues’ about the view of the cartoonist and form important components of the visual language.
