ce: Current Events
I.  SYRIA'S REFUGEES (political cartoon)
A.   - what do we see literally in this image? (class activity/teacher led)
        - focus on strong language/nouns & verbs
          (for instance: what causes waves like that? what do walls do? -- literal interpretations)

B.  - how does the artist tell you who or what the characters are?  (words/titles on men and water)
     - how do we know who they are (look at condition of water, clothes the men are wearing)
     - what is the emotional state of these men?  how can you tell (facial and body language, sweat
        beads)

C.  - now consider the representational/symbolism of the images
      - what could the images imply, suggest, tell a viewer
        (for instance, floods can overwhelm land and people; so can the needs of the refugees)

D.  - write down notes on the back anything in the op-ed article that relates to the Syrian refugee
         crisis after answering in groups the questions being answered
         (we've actually answered them all as a class)

* this political cartoon ties in to the op ed article everyone is reading at home and should help it make a bit more sense.
