Recruiting Poster Activity

Materials:
a. White poster board
b. Photos/pictures (at least 3)
c. Pencil
d. Markers

Recruiting posters were a big deal during World War II. People designed these posters to persuade people to join the army. In this activity, you will find picture from magazines, newspapers and/or the internet that have to do with enlisting in the army. You will then put together a poster with a unique slogan that will catch people’s attention. You may also draw pictures too, if you would like.

Use your imagination! The sky is the limit! :-)

On April 17, you will present your posters to the class.
