    This document provides instructions for an archival image analysis exercise exploring how residents of the Bronx experienced World War I. Students are asked to select a historical image, write a short response discussing its historical relevance and context, and use the image as evidence to make an argument about how it relates to both the Bronx and larger history of WWI. A series of questions are provided to help stimulate ideas for the analysis, including who or what viewpoints are depicted, what social factors are shown, and how the image challenges or enhances the student's understanding of the time period.
