Geography Education and Pedagogy Comics and Graphic Narratives Geography and Education Methods

Abstract

Abstract: Geography teachers have, for some time, acknowledged the value of cartoons as a means of fostering an appreciation and understanding of geographical issues. They have, however, often struggled to identify the range of instructional strategies that best facilitate their students’ interpretation of this rich, yet quite diverse, form of cultural artefact. This article examines the development of cartoons as a form of political satire and social commentary, outlines the benefits derived from using cartoons as an instructional tool, and explores some of the cartoon‐based teaching and learning strategies teachers employ to enhance the interpretative and communicative skills of students.
