Using our annual Behind the Lines political cartooning exhibition, learn how to engage students with our democracy and develop media literacy skills.
By unpacking cartoons, students will develop their critical thinking to consider author intent and bias. They will consider social issues, democratic rights and their freedoms and responsibilities as active citizens.
In this program you will:
- explore a range of historic and contemporary political cartoons
- unpack the techniques used in creating cartoons
- identify reliable sources
- develop characters from scratch to whole person.
This is a TQI Accredited program.
