Define & Explain Writing the perfect 2 sentence, 2 mark answer

With Define & Explain questions, you will be asked to not only identify the meaning of a term, but also to place it in the context of Canadian history. You need to tell me WHAT it is and WHY it is important to the history we have studied It is imperative that you remember to complete BOTH parts of the answer!

EXAMPLE Identify & Define the following term: Convoy System Answer: The Convoy System is the method whereby armed naval warships act as protection for transport/merchant vessels by encircling them as they travel across the ocean, much like bodyguards. The Canadian navy used convoys during WWI to protect vital war supplies en route to Britain from being sunk by German submarines.

Visual Analysis

You will need to assess a visual source (propaganda poster, political cartoon, photo, etc.) and be able to make judgements and inferences based on the source For this quiz, we will be focusing on propaganda.

EXAMPLE 1.) What is the poster specifically trying to get people to do? 2.) List three propaganda techniques being used in the poster and how each is being used.

1.) The poster is trying to get people to buy war bonds to support the war effort. 2.) Direct Order –The phrase “halt the Hun” tells the audience that their help is needed to stop Germany Glittering Generalities –They use the word “liberty” to label the loan. “Liberty” is a word with many possible connotations that appeals to people more then simply a “war loan” Stereotype –The German soldier is depicted as a brute who needs to be stopped from brutalizing a woman and her child
