World War I/II Propaganda -
For our Final group project our group is focused on covering examples from Print media propaganda used during World War I and II. Also we are covering propaganda created by all Countries involved in the wars.  We have decided to create a 'flag' image as the background for our timeline piece, with the focus being on the posters created. We plan using the American Flag and on the opposing Side using a compilation of two flag forms representing the two other countries.  As far as the mapping and 3rd project we do not have a set idea yet we are still gathering our research and trying to decide what the best mode of representing the additional information is.

An updated version:
Michelle did the mapping portion as an interactive website, comparing propaganda & women's suffrage in the U.S.A. & Britain. Megan created playing cards featuring our chosen artist, James Montgomery Flagg. Amanda & I collaborated with research & creating the flag & poster timeline. (We had some difficulty in locating propaganda posters with full artist & date information for countries other than the U.S.A. Per Joseph's approval we were able to concentrate on the visual information given by the timeline.)
