• Look through the six different prohibition cartoons.  As you look through the cartoons, think about how they are portraying prohibition and the effects of alcohol on life and families during the 1920's.  Choose three cartoons and write a brief summary of what you think the message is that each cartoon is trying to portray. Also consider who you think the intended audience might be, along with why you think the carttons were created.  After analyzing the three different cartoons, draw a prohibition cartoon or advertisement of you own, making sure to label different parts of you sork so that the message is clear to those who read it.  Click here for the rubric.
