Primary Source Assignment: Analyzing Vichy France Propaganda



About Your Primary Source Assignment

In this assignment you will analyze a propaganda poster, “Revolution Nationale,” produced by the government of Vichy France between 1940 and 1942.  The student will analyze the image utilizing the graphic worksheet provided by the Library of Congress. 

Copy of the Library of Congress Cartoon Analysis Outline is here. There are 12 questions on this outline.  All 12 questions will appear on the Quiz that you will take for this assignment, which is also linked below.

Analyze the graphic or cartoon that you see below and, using the Outline as a reference, answer the questions in the Quiz in as much detail as you can.  Make sure that you work alone so that your answers are original to you. If they are not, your work will be scored as a “0.”  You can then transfer your answers from the worksheet to the textboxes for each question in the Quiz.  But make sure that your answers are as specific and as detailed as possible, and in complete, grammatically correct sentences.  A student will lose points for grammatical or other errors that lead to loss of clarity in the student’s answer(s).

I will post an informational podcast here and on the homepage of the course to help you prepare for the assignment. I will post the podcast shortly before this assignment opens. See Calendar for date when this assignment opens and closes.

Make sure that you submit the Quiz by the due date listed in the Calendar.  Your answers will not be accepted in any other format but via the Quiz submission.

You can find a link to the assignment in your GeorgiaVIEW course site

A Podcast Shortcut: How to Do Well on “The Good War” Discussion Assignment



In this podcast, I get more specific about the structure of your Good War Discussion post.  How many examples of your topic do you discuss? What might be good topics for you to discuss?  Which ones were positive and which were negative? You need to give one specific example each and explain how it was negative or positive.  I hope that this helps.  This is what you need to listen to instead of coming to class the week of October 21.  You also should spend your time that week preparing for and submitting your Good War Discussion post.
