Before viewing, ask students to consider the "personality" of each letter of the alphabet. Have them create a flipbook animation using a letter of their choice. Have students research Victory Bonds: why might they have needed promotion? Have students examine further the methods that governments use to persuade its citizens to do, buy, or think something. Film students can research the work and influence of Norman McLaren.
