The Task

Imagine that you are a journalist/artist living in the U.S. during World War II, post-Pearl Harbor.  To boost morale during this tough time, you’d like to create a poster with a side article geared toward a particular group of Americans to display in the newspaper you work for.

You know that the War is affecting all Americans, so choosing who to create a poster and article for might be hard to decide. To narrow down your selection, please choose one of the four groups of people below as your target audience:

Soldiers

Women

Civilians (not of age or ability to enlist)

Unenlisted Young People
