Prompt For this assignment you will continue your understanding of how to write a synthesis essay by writing a "mini research paper." You will
research political cartoons or another form of visual rhetoric, choose two on one subject and then research an article on the same
subject. Using these three documents, synthesize them into a cohesive 500 word essay which explains each, and concludes with your
own perspective on the subject. Cite all your sources and include a Works Cited page using MLA form. As you write, remember that
essays will be graded with a six-point rubric based on the AP* nine-point scale. High-scoring essays will demonstrate that the writer
considered the prompt carefully and responded to it insightfully with strong supporting evidence. These essays will also exhibit stylistic
sophistication, including purposeful organization, precise diction, and engaging syntax. Whether or not the essay is timed, conforming to
the conventions of standard American English is expected. You may use any of the tools available to you, such the Checklist,
Spellchecker, or Graphic Organizer.
