8th Grade Propaganda Projects

The 8th graders are currently learning about World War I in Social Studies.  Throughout the war, several different groups or countries created propaganda to convince the public that their cause was the right one.  The students worked in groups to create all different forms of propaganda from several different points of view during the war.

Felix and Karl are creating political cartoons trying to convince Americans to stay out of the war.

Olivia, Lindsay, and Katie are creating a brochure to try and get Americans to buy liberty bonds, plant victory gardens, and join the army.

Hunter and Jannat are creating posters for a rally that they will perform later in the week.

Isaiah, Sam R. and Sam M. work on a newspaper about the Germans fighting in Belgium at the beginning of the war.

Morgan and Izzy singing a song to unite Americans in support of the war effort.  The tune may be familiar, but they wrote the lyrics, along with Elena.

Check back soon to see some of the finished products!
