Summary and Objective
After the entrance of the United States into World War I, Americans throughout the country did many things to assist the Allied cause. After reviewing photographs, advertisements, and letters from the collection of artifacts from the Pioneer Valley, students will understand that WWI had an impact at home and that there were many forms of involvement. This lesson is appropriate for students with Special Ed. Services.

The teacher should point out that there were many forms of involvement or participation locally in the Pioneer Valley/Franklin County of Western Massachusetts.
Step 4.
Inform the students that they are now going to be analyzing a collection of images from the PVMA website focused on this topic.Using computers, have students go online to the PVMA website, and look at each piece attached to this activity. The teacher will observe that each student is doing this.
Step 5.
The teacher will then make a chart on the board containing as many columns as necessary to show the many different forms of involvement.
