Canadian propaganda poster

[Brett2692]

Hello everyone,
I am doing a ww2 Canadian propaganda poster for Canadas war at home in history.
I picked a section appealing to citizens to buy victory bonds.
How does this sound?

C'Mon Canada!
Keep our boys firing at em!

If you cant enlist, Assist!
Buy victory bonds today!

any opinion matters to me.

Would this happen to be Canadian History: 1900-2000?


I like the poster, seems suitable for said topic.


Cheers
Baker

indeed it is.

 

[Mike Baker]

indeed it is.

Well, I think the course is a joke myself (since on minute your talking about D-Day, then your in the Cold War).

But, good job with the poster (we had to make a propaganda poster too, about current events, so I went with the Arctic dispute. Teacher liked it ).

Cheers
Baker

Hey, hey, HEY!  Its not a 'propoganda poster', its a 'patriotism poster'!

LoL at poster1  ;D

I've made a few patriotism posters for my game mod, I find it funny that both sides used pretty much the same style through out WWII.

Kind of like how both sides always claim that God is on their side...

 

[armyguy62]

kind of like people always say "God only gives you what you can handle"...... then why do so many people commit suicide??

 

[lone bugler]

great idea, appeals to duty, patriotism, like other poster of the era

Since you made such a bold statement, please elaborate...inquiring teachers want to know.

Well, like I first said, one section is about D-Day, and then about 3 more sections later is the beginning of the Cold War (of which there is about TWO pages). Also, you are talking about D-Day, an then, the next page is about Hong Kong. I mean, you would think that they would have put the book in better order then that.

But not only that, there isn't very much at all about Dieppe (only about one page), which, when I saw, shocked me, and as far as I remember, there is nothing at all about the Gulf War.

As well, you would think that in CANADIAN HISTORY, they would have had things from before 1900, since there were a lot of important things before that date.

Any thing else?

Baker,

Well, I not a guru, but I'll try to answer a few questions that you have. Your from NFLD and I'm from Ontario, so I'm sure there are some differences in curriculum and (it seems like) in textbooks.

Well, like I first said, one section is about D-Day, and then about 3 more sections later is the beginning of the Cold War (of which there is about TWO pages). Also, you are talking about D-Day, an then, the next page is about Hong Kong. I mean, you would think that they would have put the book in better order then that.

I have no idea what textbook you were using, but it does seem poorly organized. That shouldn't be however, a slight to the course. As a history teacher and a dept head, I personally don't put too much stock in texts. I tend to use them very sparingly, but that's my own taste. I feel that you cannot teach out of textbook, it makes for bad pedagogy. That said, I do have teachers in my dept who do use the text a lot; I can't tell them how to teach.

But not only that, there isn't very much at all about Dieppe (only about one page), which, when I saw, shocked me, and as far as I remember, there is nothing at all about the Gulf War.

Hence the need to move beyond the textbook. As for the Gulf War, it really depends on the writer; they are the ones deciding what goes into to it. You need to add material, look to other books, supplements, the internet, etc. For example, today we were looking at the Korean War in my Gr.10 classes. I made up my own handout, complete with maps, pics and detailed info about the Battle of Kapyong.

As well, you would think that in CANADIAN HISTORY, they would have had things from before 1900, since there were a lot of important things before that date.

True, but it depends on the course curriculum. Most texts are written to mirror a particular course. For example, in Ontario the Gr.10 Canadian history starts at WWI. The text we use at my school was written for the "old" curriculum, which started at 1900. The expectation is that students will cover pre-WWI material in Gr.7/8 (which they don't always do). I guess the reasoning is why put material in that doesn't apply to a given course.

Any thing else?

Got more? I'm game  ;D

Ahh I see what your saying. I think my objection toward the course is more or less that my 'teacher' is more of a 'reader' then actual teacher, since we don't do anything outside of it. I too am a history buff (mainly military, but most any is good) like yourself.

I'll go over the book again to see if I can find anything else though

Edit: But still, its my favorite course  ;D

Just depends on who they are and how they teach. Some people feel comfortable using the text and that's their prerogative; my opinion has already been stated. You could also have someone who isn't really a history person teaching you, because we know that never happens.  :

Good to hear it's your favourite (sorry...pet peeve). Sure beats the hell out of math! (I can say that, 'cause the wife is a math teacher  ;D)

Yeah that sounds more or less like my teacher.

And yeah, math isn't half as fun ;D

In my high school, my history teacher was a economy teacher and vice-versa. The economy teacher said it happened because of seniority....
I thought it made interesting perspective to both subject... Our history teacher took a good part of the year on the economy of the colony,
and the economy teacher took a good part of the year about how the money came along  ...

Happens all the time. Most teachers have multiple qualifications, and what people teach depends on things like requirement, seniority, etc. For example, I'm a history teacher, but I also have a minor in geography (I don't know about other provinces, but here in ON high school teachers need two teachables). I also have specialist qualifications in computers and religion, which means I can teach these subjects.
Sometimes it boils down to needing a body in a particular spot, which unfortunately means unqualified people teaching subject they don't know. Generally doesn't happen with things like math and science, but most other things are fair game. Yes, there are issues in the education system, but show me a profession that doesn't have problems.
