Hi Year 12-
This is your first homework assignment for this unit- only one to go!
Your Task for this lesson is to gather four visual sources related to propaganda and conscription in World War One. Some starting points include Google's Image search or any of the general links on the right hand side. Your sources can be posters, cartoons or paintings. But when we refer to visual sources it generally means still pictures rather than film. Here is an example from First World War.Com of an Australian propaganda poster:
This is a preparation for some class exercises on propaganda and visual sources. You must add a comment to this posting with your sources, their names and the sites you obtained them from clearly visible. You must also print them and keep them in your exercise book ready for our visual sources lesson.
In the meantime, think about the techniques used in the sources to get the attention of the viewer. You may need to refer to analyses you have made of visual texts in English as the same elements are applied to creat meaning in this case. Jot down any thoughts you have about this on the back of your sources ready to discuss them in class.
