As part of their WW1 topic in history, Year 8 have been looking at historical WW1 enlistment and recruitment posters. They have identified some of the strategies used to encourage, or even shame, men into joining up. They then used what they had learned to design their own recruitment posters.

Can YOU identify the different marketing strategies used within the display?!
