HW11: Create a political cartoon that expresses how the European powers tried to accomplish their goals at the Congress of Vienna. Guidelines: 1) It must be a one-panel cartoon, NOT a comic strip; 2) It must have a title. 3) It must use symbols (pictures that represent people or ideas) and the symbols should be labeled to indicate what they represent. Deadline Extended to Friday!
Here's a sample political cartoon related to current events! Notice the use of symbols, labels, and exaggeration. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/cartoons/images/2013/09/25/lisa_benson_current_cartoon_2013-09-25.jpg This link describes some of the important features of a good political cartoon: http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/presentationsandactivities/activities/political-cartoon/cag.html (DOUBLE HOMEWORK) Write an argumentative essay in response to the question “Was Napoleon a friend or foe of the French Revolution? Defend your argument using details from your class notes and textbook pp. 663-671. Consider these guiding questions as you develop your argument: 1) What were the values and goals of the French Revolution? 2) How did Napoleon's actions affect the people of France? 3) Did he live up to the values and achieve the goals of the revolution, or not? Include an introduction that states your position, at least two body paragraphs, and a conclusion. If you’re typing, please use the take-home essay template I’ve provided below. Remember, addressing and refuting (disproving) the counter-claim (opposing position) makes for a strong essay! Due Monday, 10/31. I've also attached the Napoleon reading from class. ![]()
