 Students participate in what's called a zoom in inquiry, which is simply putting together a PowerPoint that's looking at a cartoon in small pieces, looking at a specific part of the cartoon and not the entire image, and revealing slowly the entire image to them, thereby eliciting responses about more specific pieces of the cartoon to engage in some hypothesis-making and think about what's coming next and what they expect to see in the rest of the cartoon. So I want you to determine what you see and what questions you might ask to get the bigger picture here. Describe who you see, what do we think we're gonna see next? You're expecting to see some things up here, all right? Oh, let's find out. What new things do you see? So light and dark is being used, perhaps this looks like the top of the ditch it seems like he's down quite a way. Like just below the grassy stuff it looks like it's sort of like two walls pretty close together snaking off. What was described in some of that testimony? That there might, there was a trench involved in this whole thing, right? Hmm, we might want to make sense of that. Well let's make a hypothesis why this person is on the ground. I think that it's talking about how the US Conscience like died in the Miley incident and that possibly that there wasn't really morality in Vietnam. Some loss of morality that US Conscience has died here. All right huh, Casey? I think it goes like maybe one step further and it's saying that the US soldiers actually killed the US Conscience during their actions in Miley. Maybe who we're gonna see up here are the US soldiers? What new things do you see Casey? Well there are people throwing up confetti waving American flags and somebody's holding up one of those like sort of protest board things. Now what questions do you need to ask then to get a closer, get closer to the meaning of this whole cartoon? What questions Jake? What are they really cheering for? Great question. Andrew? Who are these people? Good. Let's see then if we can get an answer to that. Huh. Now what do you see? Okay, so the... So it might be a that these people aren't supporting the decision that they're with Lieutenant Cali, that they don't like the the the decision of the court. Well it seems like they don't mind him to the person in the range. It looks like it's Uncle Sam because of the heading at the top. Okay. They don't see what really happened at Miley. They just see this guy, you know, this lieutenant in the army who seemingly did something really patriotic, you know, killed a bunch of stupid North Vietnamese enemy people and they don't see that he just mastered his civilians. Slowing down the process of looking at the cartoon really helped students examine more closely details that you as a teacher want to pick out and have them examine instead of jumping in and looking at an entire cartoon at once and being bogged down by the overwhelming details of it taking students through the process of examining pieces of a cartoon allows them to process the cartoon in a more logical manner and and to develop greater understanding for them.
