WW1 Metaphor Poster

Mr. Hoffman’s World History class wrapped up Term 2 with creating a project that uses the historical context of World War I as a metaphor to explore conflict, loss, resilience, or societal shifts. By drawing on the imagery, emotional landscape, and political turmoil of WWI, the project invites reflection on how war and its aftermath resonate in contemporary contexts.
