Research Using a research guide, my students will investigate various aspects of different mobilization efforts including their advertising and public relations campaigns. Following their initial research, students comb through their findings and post pertinent information on their individual wikispace. Research finds should center on the purpose of mobilization efforts, what audiences were targeted with advertising and public relations efforts, what mediums were used and artifacts produced, and what results did these mobilization efforts yield.

Glogster Poster media type="custom" key="7189489" Students will then apply the information they have gathered in the creation of Glogster poster. The poster should include all key elements of the research process in addition to be original, creative, and well organized.

Editorial The final element of the "War at Home" project is an online editorial. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage students to use their research and personal experience to support a position on the the current state of civic responsibility and critique contemporary war involvement with the mobilization and civic responsibility of the World War II era. The final editorial would be posted the student's wikispace completing a cohesive online experience dedicated to the exploration of civic responsibility in times of war.
