Students are to design their own political cartoon. There are to use the iPad app Educreations. This app is normally used to make voice recorded lessons but with a simple modification will serve our purpose. Students can either draw the entire political cartoon or upload a picture by saving it to their camera roll or uploading it through the web. Students should draw the entire political cartoon on the app. It should include written words as well as pictures. The project will be worth 10 points. Once they are done they will need to upload it to the classroom blog. I go into more detail about the blog under the tab Blog. To save the picture they will need to "screen shot" it with the iPad. It will be saved to the camera roll.
