( An example of how you might present your cartoon project (
If graphics are a part of your essay, you’ll need to learn how to insert the pictures into
the text. This makes the presentation of the material more interesting. This page is done using Microsoft Word. The cartoon was saved as a picture and inserted into the document. After I made the cartoon smaller, I clicked on the picture. I went to the format menu and clicked on picture. On the layout tab, I selected Tight under the Wrapping style. You can move the picture around until you place it in a good position. The picture should be placed in the text that talks about that picture. So here is where I would explain the cartoon. You can see that the little boy is reading Harry Potter, but the adult is still watching television. The cartoonist is making fun of adults who think it’s great that kids are reading, but they refuse to do it themselves.
The next cartoon suggests that elderly people are often poor drivers. It also suggests that teenagers make poor drivers. The cartoonist is comparing teenagers, in this case a teenage boy, with elderly men. Due to some recent accidents, some states are considering tightening driving tests for older drivers, just as California has tightened the rules for young drivers.
You can play with the different styles of wrapping your text. Just make sure that your final copy is easy for the reader to follow. Also, be sure that you don’t have more than two pictures on a page. Too many pictures will distract the reader from the text.
If you are drawing a picture, you can just insert a text box and draw directly on the page. In Microsoft, simply click on insert, then textbox. You will be able to drag and size the box. To wrap the text, make sure you click on the box, then from the Format menu, click on textbox. Then choose layout and select the kind of wrapping you prefer.
If you have a different word processing program, let me know, and I’ll teach you how to do this on your program.
