A Day (Periods 9-10): WWI Battles
Hello everyone! Today we assessed why WWI soldiers could no longer fight on open ground using conventional methods. We analyzed the usage of trench warfare during the war and the new weaponry that played an integral part within the conflict. For homework, please research the following battles and write a brief description of each. Some of these battles are located within your textbooks.
1.) First Battle of the Marne
2.) Battle of Verdun
3.) Battle of the Somme
4.) Gallipoli Campaign
5.) Second Battle of the Marne
Please also remember that your revised DBQs and Self-Evaluation forms are due on Tuesday. You will also have a quiz during class on that day. Please begin to study ASAP; Relay for Life will tire everyone out over the weekend and you do not want to be caught unprepared for the assessment.
Please email me if you have any questions. Have a great day!

A Day (Periods 3-4, 7-8): WWI Battles
Hello everyone! Today we assessed why WWI soldiers could no longer fight on open ground using conventional methods. We analyzed the usage of trench warfare during the war and the new weaponry that played an integral part within the conflict. For homework, please research the following battles and write a brief description of each. Some of these battles are located within your textbooks. The research will be due during Friday's class.
1.) First Battle of the Marne
2.) Battle of Verdun
3.) Battle of the Somme
4.) Gallipoli Campaign
5.) Second Battle of the Marne
On Tuesday, April 1, you will hand in your revised DBQs and the Self-Evaluation form for the paper. Also, you will have a quiz on WWI. Please begin to study ASAP; I understand that Relay for Life is this weekend and this should not be an excuse why you were unable to study (I have provided you a week to prepare).
Furthermore, you are to choreograph a dance or create a monologue relating to the topic. If you choose to choreograph a dance, the final product must be original, creative, and relevant to the topic of WWI. Furthermore, this must be taken seriously (i.e., you cannot role around the room as if you are a soldier and call it a dance). This dance must be performed during class. If you are writing the monologue, the final project should also be original, creative, and relevant to WWI. If you choose this option, the final product should be a dramatic piece from an soldier that endured the fighting and trench warfare in WWI. You may write it as if the soldier is still within the trenches or as if he is telling the story later on in life. Please remember that this monologue should show characterization, knowledge of the topic, and an understanding of the character and his surroundings (i.e., who he is talking to, the setting of the monologue, the background and personality of the character, relationship with the person he is speaking to, etc.). THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 3.
Please email me if you have any questions. Have a great day!
