propaganda poster that will motivate the public to take action in support of the war effort.
b) Make a strong poster by being detailed and clearly organized and making good use of text and graphics.
c) Ask your teacher whether you will be using presentation, drawing, word-processing, or artistic software to develop the poster. You may also be able to use a large piece of paper or poster board, but ask your teacher first whether this is acceptable.
Step 2) Consider the required elements of the poster.
a) Your poster should include a clear and concise message to the audience. You must decide what you want
your poster to motivate people to do with regard to World War I war efforts.
b) Your poster should include images and a slogan that accurately reflect the message of the poster and the World War I era.
c) Your poster should provide historically accurate information with regard to images, a message, and a slogan that reflect the World War I era.
d) Your poster should convey its message to the audience via accurate spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Step 3) Think about these steps for creating a successful poster.
a) Plan – Sketch out your poster on a piece of paper.
b) Draft – Create a rough draft of your poster.
c) Revise – Review your work, correct mistakes, and make improvements.
