PART 1 INSTRUCTIONS:

One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, and scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, submit an analysis of the American homefront during World War Two.

You might want to consider the following questions, but you are not limited to them: How were people on the home front encouraged to participate in the war effort? Which of the posters do you think was most effective? In what ways were people’s part in the war impactful? Where can you still see evidence of these behaviors? You can also focus on the “Double Victory” or women’s role/changes based on their homefront experience.

PART TWO INSTRUCTIONS:

As we reach the mid point of the semester, I ask you what should we remember about U.S. history? This course covers decades of life in our nation and I often consider what should be remembered. As many of you have heard “Remember the Alamo” in regard to Texas, what should be remembered from this U.S. history course that we have covered in the modules so far? Consider how this connects to today’s climate and events plus your role in the past, present and future. What questions from this course thus far continue to ‘haunt’ your or have you found yourself bringing up with friends or family? What issues, events and perspectives will you continue to consider as you move forward? What else are you hoping to learn about, discuss in a discussion board, and wrestle with as we move through the second half of this course?
