2. Introduction Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Hello class! Our assignment today is to research World War One and create group presentations over World War One. World War one was a traumatic experience for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. It would also lay the foundations for World War Two. Today we are going to cover the causes of World War One, the changes it made, and how people were affected by it. http://www.army.mil.nz/at-a-glance/news/army-news/362/image-gallery/2.htm
5. The Process Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Everyone break up into groups of four. I want you all to focus on a specific category. The categories are Causes of World War One, Technological changes and World War one, Life on the home front during World War One, Life of a Soldier, and the Treaty of Versailles and the long term effects of World War One. I expect either a power point or a large poster board covered with images. Each presentation should be at least ten minutes, with everyone talking for at least two minutes. You will need at least five (5) sources. Please email 1 copy to the teacher (i.e. teacher@school.org) to turn for each group. Please have everyone's name in the introduction. Some helpful websites to begin your searches include: http://www.worldwar1.com/ http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWW.htm http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/worldwarone/soldier/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwone/ http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/English/Teacher/world_war.html http://www.archives.gov/research/alic/reference/military/ww1.html http://www.academicinfo.net/histww1.html

7. Conclusion Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] As we have seen World War One had devastating consequences for people, economies, and the empires that had controlled Europe and Asia. The way people lived, their sense of the world, and the technologies available to human beings changed dramatically due to World War One. This would not be the end of suffering for Europe. Soon a pandemic flu (The Spanish Influenza) would kill as many people as World War One did. The long term economic devastation, political instability, and nationalism that was created from World War One would pave the way for the bloodiest century in human history. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic-art/206578/56329/The-Sopwith-Camel-was-one-of-the-best-known-British

10. Introduction (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This Lesson is meant to be a two or three day project for teachers designed to simultaneously cover World War One and encourage student participation and technology use. Since the vast majority of history classes taught in public schools do not have enough time to cover even a fraction of American History, it is important to encourage students to be curious about history. By exposing students to a considerable amount of material on World War 1 this lesson should help. This lesson should not be considered a substitute for covering the material with your class. Many students will not look into material unless motivated, and it is important for teachers to be knowledgeable about their subjects. A day should be spent covering the basics of WW1 for your class before assigning this project. WW1 is a critical turning point in World and American history that changed economics, technology, medicine, perceptions of human rights, and the course of many European Empires. There is bountiful material to cover regarding WW1. Anyone using this as a template please be free to change the research topics, websites, or any other part of this powerpoint.

11. Learners (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson is best used in either an American, Western, World, or European history course. While it is true that much of the war occurred in Asia or Africa, unfortunately the vast majority of literature is concerning the European aspect of the war. This topic is incredibly bloody, complicated, and often goes into questions of ethics in American history. As such this kind of a lesson is best reserved for high school students, or students who show a strong desire to pursue historical studies in a post-secondary school setting. Students should know how to construct PowerPoint presentations, research (both independent and teacher guided), create bibliographies or work cited pages, and have a general understanding of what is World War 1 Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

13. The Process (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson is a several day adventure. Explain to students that this will require independent research time. Far too much information is out there to be covered quickly. If the teacher has access to a computer lab during class time this could be immensely helpful. The teacher should have a projector capable of putting PowerPoint presentations onto an overhead screen. Student groups are often tricky to organize Left to themselves the students will pick their friends. This can result in severe What skills does a teacher need in order to pull this lesson off? Is it easy enough for a novice teacher? Does it require some experience with directing debates or role plays, for example? If you're designing for a one-computer classroom or for pre-readers and are creating a facilitated WebQuest in which the teacher or an aide controls the computer and guides discussion, you can link from here to the Teacher Script page which would contain a printable script for the facilitator to follow. Variations If you can think of ways to vary the way the lesson might be carried out in different situations (lab vs. in-class, for example), describe them here. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

16. Teacher Script (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Have a quick overview on how to use the computers. Have the students right click on links to open websites. Give a quick explanation and overview of what you want. Having previous students examples who volunteered is a nice way to demonstrate what you want. Or make a model of one your own. Remember to give them handouts of the following websites Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion Some helpful websites to begin your searches include: http://www.worldwar1.com/ http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWW.htm http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/worldwarone/soldier/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwone/ http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/English/Teacher/world_war.html http://www.archives.gov/research/alic/reference/military/ww1.html http://www.academicinfo.net/histww1.html Have another handout with some basic info about turning in the assignment.

17. Conclusion (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page World War one changed the course of history. Europe was no longer dominant. The USSR came into creation. The United States was now a world industrial giant. The effects on civil liberties during World War one would be a could way to end a lesson.
