Use this cartoon to answer the following questions:

1. How does this cartoon make you feel?
2. What kind of image is portrayed?
3. How do you think the child's friends feels when he finds out why he has that mark on his face?

I chose this cartoon because the message is clear about child abuse and students will be able to understand it. I want students to be able to express their feelings through writing. This cartoon shows students how friends react when they find something like this out. The body language and facial expressions help students interpret the cartoon.
