How can a photograph change the course of a war? Learners analyze, through a short video, Ernest Brooks's photographs of the First World War. They investigate how photos served as propaganda and altered the way troops fought the war. The 21st lesson of a 32-part series on the Great War researches the emotions behind the photographs taken and creates an open discussion on how Brooks changed the course of WWI.
