Question

The creative project is not meant to be a very long project. To give you some guidance, if you write an economic essay, I would suggest 3 - 5 pages, double-spaced. Some projects may have no writing at all, however. (Such as artwork.)

From the syllabus:

CREATIVE PROJECT:Have fun with Economics for this assignment! Your task is to apply economic thinking in, hopefully, a creative way. Projects will be graded on two primary criteria:

(1) your application/incorporation of economic concepts

(2) your creativity

Some projects may be less creative (such as a research paper) but contain more economic content. Some projects may be more creative, with less economic content.

Suggestions:an economic video, photo essay, artwork, editorial cartoon(s), poetry, song, short story, powerpoint presentation, web page, film review, book report, short research papers, etc. Your topic does not have to be obviously about economics (sports, music, hobby), but your task is to relate the subject to economics.

You must deliver your project electronically (via email, youtube link, web address, etc.) If your project is physical and difficult to deliver, you can take photographs and send those.

Political Editorial Cartoon
Political cartoons allow students to investigate the many persuasion strategies used by cartoonists to persuade people to change their beliefs. Symbolism, exaggeration, labeling, analogy and irony are the most common persuasive methods. Students can learn to recognize these tactics. Many people are attempting to persuade us to change our minds. We can teach pupils to make informed decisions by understanding how they do it.
Cartoons can occasionally convey a serious message. The 1754 publication of Benjamin Franklin's "Join or Die" marked the beginning of the use of political cartoons. These images have played an important role in history by educating uneducated citizens and expressing a particular point of view. Cartoonists have the ability to attack opponents, applaud allies, change people's thoughts on vital matters and be amusing enough to influence public opinion with a single image.
Political cartoons add a sense of levity and exaggeration to historical and contemporary events (Shaikh et al.). Simple items, or symbols, can represent complex thoughts or ideas through symbolism. Assign students the task of identifying any symbols and determining what they are meant to represent.
Exaggeration - To emphasize a point, physical qualities of persons or things may be exaggerated. Students should look for these exaggerations and consider why the artist chose to do so.
Labeling - Objects and people are sometimes labeled to make it clear what they stand for. When students observe labels, have them consider why the artist chose to include one.
