Part 1: Primary Source Analysis worksheet. The primary source you are going to analyze is the recruitment video, “Women of Steel.” The worksheet is a Word document. I have already filled in the top portion of the worksheet. Please fill in all remaining sections.
Part 2: Respond to the prompt below in one-to-two paragraphs of text. Imagine that you are an American who just lived through World War II. Choose from one of the following personas or make up one of your own:
* A young woman who joined the industrial workforce during the war
* A Black man from the south who served as a fighter pilot during the war
* A man who was seriously wounded while fighting on the front lines
* A female nurse who served at the front lines
Write a brief letter to an imagined friend about your experiences. Tell this person about what you did or saw during the war, what you hope to do now, and what types of changes your wartime experiences have brought to your life.
