Read about being an evacuee here:

​  

Write a letter home as an evacuee.
What might you share with your family? Where have you been evacuated to?
How is your life different?

Watch the video below about WW2.
Create a propaganda poster to encourage mothers to evacuate their children because of the war.
In times without Internet or television, WW1 and WW2 propaganda posters were a powerful communication tool and an essential source of information.
WW1 was the first war where whole nations were fighting against each other and the public's perception of the war really mattered.
​This meant that propaganda (used to try and make people think a certain way) was required in every country for a number of reasons:

• To enlist support
• To convince people about the justness of the cause
• To strengthen the support of allies
• To encourage hatred towards the enemy
• To boost morale

WW1 AND 2 propaganda posters were also used to give people information about food and fuel substitutes and to remind them to conserve resources
