US Propaganda of World War 1 Lesson - WWI WalkAround Activity - Print & Digital
This WWI lesson explores how propaganda was used to gain support for the war among Americans on the home front. The activities are engaging for students, and the guided 6-E format is easy for you to use! Everything you need is included!
Start with a fun “Listen Up - Taglines” warm-up to examine modern-day propaganda techniques. Then, dive into “A History Dilemma,” where students consider the isolationist stance of the United States at the beginning of World War I. Introduce vocabulary and historical events to build background knowledge. Fill-in notes accompany the lesson. Next, challenge your class to investigate WWI propaganda posters to understand the messages and techniques used. There is also a “walk-around” poster version to get your class up and moving. Finally, check for understanding with an exit ticket quiz.
