"But there is one front and one battle where everyone in the United States - every man, woman, and child - is in action� That front is right here at home, in our daily lives." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1942

Directions:
First, each student in the group will take a topic concerning the American Homefront during WW2. Take Cornell notes as you read. Second, Your will continue your mission by reading the section in the textbook on your same topic. Your group will then wriite a letter to the Pearson Textbook Publishing Company on the topic. You should explain the significance of your topic and lobby for the inclusion of more pages/key information in the text on it (and what information in particular). Look at Chapter 23 of your textbook (or the Index) to find your topic.
Third, you should create a propaganda poster to help the war effort as if you were in the U.S. Office of War Information (the American propaganda office during WW2). Click on the pictures links below for the information you will need.
Next, you will get together and teach the main points of your topic to the class as a whole (everyone must participate).
Finally, when you have learned every part you will get together with your group and create a mural that effectively (visually and information-wise) displays the issues discussed today. Your mural should have no words other than the title, "WW2: The Forgotten Story," and should convey the key messages you learned today through pictures. Get to work, you have a lot to do (and it's graded).
