A ‘cartoon animation’ refers to the rapid depiction of sequential images in frames that change incrementally to create motion. They are created to entertain their intended audience while simultaneously capturing the mores, values and foibles of society as depicted through their characters, plot, themes and production. Cartoons are a valuable source of historical information as they both depict and influence society and popular culture over time. The cartoons in focus, the ‘Looney Toons’, ‘Scooby Doo’ and ‘The Simpsons’ are examples of cartoons originating in America that have had a deep and long lasting impact on Australian popular culture. Using the timeline to locate the following clips, view each of them and complete the template below: ‘Making of the Simpsons’ (1986) ‘History of Scooby Doo’ (1969)‘History of the Looney Toons’ (1930) General Questions THE SIMPSONS SCOOBY DOOLOONEY TOONS When did the show first air?

Commodification of culture Our relationship with culture is cyclical - We are shaped by culture as much as we contribute to the shaping culture (Wadham, Putsy and Boyd, 2007). ‘Commodification’ refers to the process of transforming goods, services and ideas into a commodity, which is an item that can be marketed as a good or service to meet a demand for a product (Polanyi, 2004). It is at the heart of popular culture, which is ‘mass culture’ – cultural activities or commercial products that are widely demanded and practiced by a majority of the population (). The enduring popularity of cartoons embeds them into popular culture which, in turn, further creates commodities and objects from them that become desired objects and eventually, icons of pop culture. It is the commodification of pop culture through cartoons that is the main focus of the showcase. Showcase items - sampleWhat is ‘pop culture?’ What is the commodification of culture? Choose two items from the showcase. Add their type, year produced and cartoon of origin. Do you own these types of items? What are they? Are they a useful illustration of the commodification of culture? Are these types of items common in Australian society? What are some other examples? TASK: Watch the clip that depicts the virtual tour through ‘the Simpson’s museum’ (2014). List the many different types of items could you see.Is the museum a representation of pop culture, or a stark illustration of the commodification of cultureCartoons and Culture: Words MatterMany of the common sayings and phrases that originally appeared in cartoons have entered into common lexicon and are instantly recognisable as being a pop cultural reference to a specific cartoon. Questions: What are some common quotes, sayings and phrases from cartoons that are instantly recognisable? Memes are a form of cultural reproduction that replicates and transmits culture on the internet. Are any of these phrases used on the internet in memes? Create a meme with one of these phrases. E.g. “that’s a paddlin” Create a WORDLE of common phrases, quotes and sayings from cartoons. Include phrases from the cartoons ‘the Simpsons’, ‘Looney Toons’ and ‘Scooby Doo’. What is a phrase or saying that you and your peers use all the time. Is it a pop cultural reference? Where does it come from? In the Simpsons, episodes often begin with Bart in detention writing a phrase on the chalkboard. What would you write that could be aired in a Simpsons episode? Why is it relevant? Generate your own chalkboard.Create your own phrase that you believe would suit a cartoon character of your own creation. Cartoons and High Culture: Art and MusicCartoons often depict references to fine art and music (See also: “Historical references in the Simpsons”). Often, they create their own art and music and are in turn used as inspiration to create new music and art based on the cartoons themselves. Explore the music and art below derived from the Simpsons and Looney toons below. Analysing sources: Daffy Duck’s Rhapsody – Lyrics DAFFY!

Extension tasksGo through the virtual timeline and explore how pop culture has changed from 1945 until now. Write a brief summary of changes for each decade. How was Australia in the 1950s influenced by American culture? Discuss. Write a blog entry about your daily life and times from the perspective of a selected cartoon character. Using ‘survey monkey’, create a series of questions to interview your friends, parents and grandparents generation about their favourite cartoons when they were your age. How are memes a means of cultural production? How are they used to represent pop culture? How are cartoons made? Investigate how the change in technology has contributed to the change in the technical and production features of cartoons through time. Has it made cartoons better?

Write a feature newspaper article on how advances in communication technology have influenced Australian consumption of television, with a focus on popular cartoon series (both Australian and American) Write a biography of one of the writers of a famous cartoon series (e.g. Matt Groening) Write an essay on the question ‘How do cartoons depict and influence popular culture through time?’ 1000 words. Include references to the commodification of culture, changes in technology, music, art, fashion, sport and societal values. Teacher GuideVirtual Timeline The virtual timeline was created as a direct response to the inquiry question ‘How do cartoons depict and influence popular culture through time?’ In the timeline, vignettes are shown of the cartoons ‘The Simpsons’, ‘Looney Toons’ and ‘Scooby Doo’. These cartoons were selected as they are deeply embedded in international pop culture (including Australia) as iconic cartoons across time. The cartoons collectively span all the decades from 1930-now, thus providing an even more effective tool for a deep analysis of how changing society has impacted pop culture, and how it in turn impacts society. The timeline includes a decade-by-decade depiction of changes in music, fashion, lifestyle, culture, and sport so students are able to place the cartoons in context and form an appropriate scaffold for further investigation and understanding. The interactive, virtual timeline was personally created by Sanija Hrncic using primarily YouTube videos to appeal equally to visual and auditory learners and uses technology to enable the development of 21st century learners. References and Sources are listed on the timeline. History of cartoons Page 3 This activity is intended to get students thinking about what cartoons are, and enable knowledge and understanding of the history of the cartoons in focus by asking a series of simple questions about the videos on the timeline. Commodification of culture Page 5These series of questions are meant to expose students to several important concepts, including ‘commodification of culture’ and ‘pop culture’. It is the pivotal link between the depth study (popular culture), the showcase (commodities of popular cartoons) and the assessment task, which explores the commodification of popular culture in Australia and the world. Cartoons and culture: words matter Page 6 This activity explores how common phrases and sayings from cartoons have entered into common usage in society. Students use modern multiliteracies to create a MEME, use WORDLE and generate a ‘Bart Simpson’ chalkboard as they synthesise the phrases to create a new product using ICT applications. Cartoons and high culture: art and music Page 7 Students analyse sources that depict references to high culture in pop culture (cartoons). Shown are photos of Bart Simpson as the Nirvana Baby (Nevermind album, 1991), Homer as Edvard Munch’s “The scream” and the Simpsons family as the Beatles. This concept is further developed by examining the virtual museum tour shown in ‘Looney toons: back in action’ (2003) where Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are running through the Louvre. This allows students to examine the interaction between pop culture and high culture, and how this is represented in cartoons. The analysis of ‘Daffy Duck’s rhapsody’ further affords students the opportunity to develop their understanding of how culture was changed after 1945 by exploring the music of the 1950’s. Popular culture and fashion Page 8-9 This section allows students to further develop their understanding of how pop culture is commodified and creates a culture of its own, illustrated here by the ‘retro 90s’ trend of cartoons appearing in fashion. Students are asked to analyse sources to assess changes in fashion through time in cartoons, and create their own cult t-shirts. T.V. guide Page 10 This activity provides students with the opportunity to investigate changes in Australian T.V. viewing preferences across time, and how this is reflective of society during a particular time period. Episode review Page 11 Students write a review of the episode ‘Bart vs. Australia’ (1995) to develop their literacy skills as well as assess the impact of Americanisation in shaping perceptions of Australia in the world through television (here, in cartoons). Students are encouraged to critically assess all aspects of the episodes and are provided with a scaffold to perform the task successfully. Create an Infographic Page 12 Students are asked to create an Infographic using a variety of data about a cartoon of their choice. In this way, students can begin to apply numerical skills in statistical and data analysis through the creation of a simple graphic representation of important facts about their chosen cartoon. The Simpsons Commodity: ‘The Simpsons’ Total Franchise Revenue Page 13Through analysing this primary source, students develop their numeracy skills through the direct interpretation of data through answering a series of simple questions that requires students to search for the answer within the source. Episode ratings comparisons Page 14 Bar graph activity Page 15Class survey Page 16-17Students are taken through Bloom’s scale in order to simultaneously develop their numeracy and higher order thinking skills. Using episode ratings of different cartoons as the line of inquiry, students are asked to compare and contrast data by locating the different ratings in the first season of two different cartoons. Students are then required to represent this data in a double bar graph, developing their skills in analysing and representing data. Students are then asked to initiate a class survey of their favourite characters and record the results graphically. Not only do students develop their numeracy and inquiry skills, they do so with a high level of engagement and interaction with peers and lay the foundation to key skills in experimental data collation needed for social science research in the future. Develop your own cartoon character Page 18Background of cartoon character Page 19Build your own cartoon character Page 20 Students are provided with a scaffold to develop their own cartoon character that is a historically accurate representation of pop culture in Australia in their selected time period (1945-now). Students are provided with an opportunity to CREATE and thus use the highest level of Bloom’s taxonomy as well as choice in their manner of creation, allowing for greater levels of creativity and differentiation for visual, kinaesthetic and auditory learners. This task is set in anticipation of their assignment, where they use their cartoon character in a pair or group of three to create a short stop motion animation that shows their cartoon characters engaging in a range of pop culture activities that accurately represent their time period, including famous moments from film and T.V., listening to music, sports, and representations of lifestyle and fashion. Just for fun Page 21Extension Page 22 Students are provided with a range of optional extension activities, with participation being optional. These activities provide an opportunity for gifted learners to extend their knowledge through a range of activities to extend and deepen their critical understanding of the subject matter.
