For this project, each student will pick a cartoon from a newpaper or magazine. Then the student will analyze this work as if it were a piece of theatre. The project paper should be in the form of an outline or list.

Use an outline/list format where you

a) list each word, b) define it and c) explain how it is demonstrated in your work.

Do not list examples without any explanation.

No word / answer is complete without an explanation !

All papers must be typed. Computer users use 12 point font and have no margin larger then 1 inch. Proof read and spell check your work. Presentation is a part of your completed project.

1) Choose a single or multiple image cartoon from a newspaper or magazine

Black and white xerox copies of your work are acceptable but originals or color copies are better.

2) Once your piece is chosen, analyze it as if it were a moment of theatre or a theatrical production. Use any and all materials we have discussed in class so far including:

a) Aristotle's ingredients for a play.
b) Aristotle's recipe for a play.
c) The different genres of plays / theatre productions we have discussed in class.
d) Any other words / definitions that we have discussed.

Have fun with this. Turn it into a puzzle to see how many words you can use in your paper. Take time when making your selection of a work to analyze. You will spend some time working with it so you should like it. If you have any questions or problems please see me before the day the project is due. If you would like me to look at your selection please come see me during office hours.
