1. How is your research coming along?

Name: _______________________________________________________________

3.  Problem/Solution - a way to organize for writing . . .

What are the causes of the problem? What are the effects? This should explain why there is a need for a solution.

Think of this as writing in three parts.

A. Prove there is a problem. Provide some history of the problem. What were the causes?
B. Because the problem exists, what are the effects? How is life changed because of the problem? How many are impacted?
C. What are the solutions? Why will YOUR solution work. What are the benefits? How will life be different if the problem is solved?

• Study the shading and shadowing. How do these elements impact the overall message?
• Who is the artist? When was the work created? Is the artist's message about a specific event in the history of war? What was going on in the world when the work was created? Is the art universal - speaks to people of all times and in all places in all wars, or is it limited to the audience for whom it was created?
• How does the work relate war  in the 20th and 21^st centuries?
