Due next Monday and Tuesday

Due Monday 12/17:  Research on the cabinet (the assignment can be found here) and create a symbol for one of the first political parties (Federalists or Republicans).  The symbol must be creative, clear, colorful, reflective of the values and ideals of the party and generally show unique thought and effort.  Explain your symbol in 2-3 sentences on the back of the page you draw it on.  Worth 5 points and due next class. 

Due Tuesday 12/18:  Find a political cartoon from the past year that somehow reflects the ideals (in either a positive or negative way) of one of the two major political parties today.  

Please have the following printed and ready for class on Tuesday (you may include all of these on the same page);

·         A clear, printed copy of the cartoon 

·         The source of the cartoon (name of the website and URL or publication information and the date it was printed/published).  The date is necessary to establish the context of commentary it's making.

·         Explain in 3-4 sentences how it reflects the ideals of the political party, whether it's making a positive or negative comment about that party and why you chose it (other than it was the first image that came up on a Google search).  Please type if possible.
