I would have students look through a series of advertisement on food production as it related to women's role within World War II as well as their position within American society after the war ended. For the time during World War II, I would have students look through advertisements on rationing efforts within United States and how these advertisements was directed at women. Advertising in the post war would include how different companies like the cake company mentioned in the module were attempting to change women's view about their role in the household. It would also be interesting to evaluate some advertising from the Swanson tv dinners mentioned in the module and analyze what about the advertisement made women feel like using these dinners was not abandoning their commitment to being a superior wife and mother.

I would have students pick a real person that experienced Ellis Island and another person that was in Angel Island. Students would research these individuals experiences either through letters, diaries, or journals. Following research, students would write a contrast essay on the differences found within each of the stations.

There are a few ways I would engage students with the content from this module. First, I would conduct a simulation of rationing. Each student would get a ration booklet and would need to manage the amount of goods they were allowed to purchase. Next, I would have students design their own propaganda poster on making sure women were abiding by the ration system. They could include the housewife pledge or make up their own slogan within their propaganda poster.

I would have students examine different ways that stereoscopes were used from geography to political speeches. Students would analyze the different images that used this technology by providing a brief description and giving their opinion on how effective this image was used with a stereoscope.
