Students compare paired WWI sources such as a letter and propaganda poster, photograph and newspaper report, or casualty table and memorial art print. In pairs, they sort evidence into categories: emphasized, missing, emotional effect, and historical usefulness. The activity ends with a quick write about which medium reveals more about human cost and why.
