Throughout the war songs were used as propaganda tools as well. Listen
to this song from 1914 and determine what the idea the song is trying to
get across…
World War song
Lyrics: Your King and Country Want You
We've watched you playing cricket and every kind of game,
At football, golf and polo you men have made your name.
But now your country calls you to play your part in war.
And no matter what befalls you
We shall love you all the more.
So come and join the forces
As your fathers did before.
Oh, we don't want to lose you but we think you ought to go.
For your King and your country both need you so.
We shall want you and miss you
But with all our might and main
We shall cheer you, thank you, bless you
When you come home again.

You and your partner are to create a Propaganda
Poster and a Voki to visually support Governor
Bickett’s message.
Pick one of his ideas and create a propaganda poster
to support it. Create a Voki about a different issue
than the one you used on the poster.
Poster Rules: Your poster must have an image or
images to visually represent the idea you have
chosen.
 A slogan to catch the eye
 The slogan is not to be the whole poster! The image(s)
is to be the focus.

Use the computers to create your Voki.
Everything about your Voki (character,
background, voice, words) should be used for
propaganda purposes.
The speech your Voki makes should be your
paraphrasing of one of Bickett’s ideas…Don’t
copy!!!!
