After our look at Pearl Harbor and FDR's War Message yesterday, today we'll build on what you learned from the Foner text and take a closer look at the homefront.
We'll begin by watching the first 20 minutes of The Century: Homefront. We'll use this study guide to keep track of the stories told in the film.
We'll then take a closer look at some of the war posters that were used to inspire people to take action on the homefront. You'll choose a few to use to answer these questions: What are the strategies? What are the messages? What are people being asked to DO? To THINK? How might different people react to the different images?
We'll finish class by looking at a couple of Disney cartoons that were also used to inspire people on the homefront.
