exaggeration- to show the reader how little technology is in the classroom.

The cartoonist's point of view is that the students are high tech, so the classroom should have more technology in them. Ex- a student is holding a book and acting like he doesn't know how to turn it on like a computer.
5. Is this cartoon persuasive? Explain why or why not.
The cartoon is more persuasive than aggressive, so I would have to say yes because its not saying that we have to have technology in the classroom. It is showing that technology would be helpful.

Have a teacher suggest that technology is needed, because to many people think that children now days use technology way to much.
