This Digital History page about Political Cartoons is a great starting point for students of various comprehension and familiarity levels with the sub-topic within social studies / the study of popular culture of political cartoons. Each link takes students to simple definitions of "how to do history through political cartoons", "inquiry questions" and the "background of political cartoons" so students can familiarize themselves with them. At the end, students can link to some of the most popular ones throughout history, mostly created by Harpers Bizzare. Creating an assignment in which students analyze and create political cartoons from the past then political memes from the present would be an exciting way to show the ways in which politics have been examined through popular culture overtime.
