Short Quiz on WWI

Web Quest- Learning Objective: You will summarize the causes, events, and effects of World War I.

The Task
What were people exposed to during World War I? What kind of
changes took place and how did they affect the war? How was
this war different from previous wars? You will analyze a series of
Web sites containing information on the various types of changes
made during this time.
You must carefully research your role. You must decide whether
or not the war was worth the physical, economic and emotional
prices paid by the countries involved.
Each team member will research one of the following roles:
Trench Warfare
New Weapons Technology
The Home Front
Propaganda
When you are finished, you will meet to discuss your research
and then choose which role your group thinks had the largest
impact on the war.

The Process
Conditions during World War I were bleak. For the first time, not
only did the soldiers suffer, but people living back home had
hardships as well. When the war began, people enthusiastically
supported it, however, by the time the war was under way, every
side just wanted it to end. Using the Web sites provided, you will
discover how World War I forever changed the way people think
about war. Follow these steps to complete your quest...

Step 1: First, divide up the work! Each person in the group should
have already been assigned a role. Your choices are: Trench
Warfare, New Weapons Technology, the Home Front and
Propaganda.

Step 2: Next, each person will spend time going to their individual
role pages to gather research for their assigned role. When you
begin your research, make sure you have paper to take notes on
all the information you will find on the Internet sites I provide for
you. Put your name on these papers and keep them because you
will hand them in at the end as your "rough research copy." Make
sure you write down the URL of all Web sites used! Note: You
may gather information from other sources as well, but please cite
all work!

Step 3: Once all of your group members have completed their
research, you will meet to discuss your findings. Which condition
contributed the most to the war’s devastating effects? And, why?
Important! You need to listen to each other and give everyone a
chance to talk about their role. Hear each role and thoroughly
discuss the pros and cons to each role before making a decision.
If you disagree with each other, calmly discuss your side with your
team mates, if you can’t come to a decision, take a vote…majority
rules! When you are finished, answer the questions on the Group
Project Sheet. Make sure all group members' names are on the
sheet and it’s completely filled out. Don’t leave any blanks!

Step 4: Assemble your Individual Project Packets and hand in to
me by the due date. This should include all of the following neatly
stapled together…

Role Research Sheets: These are just the sheets of paper where
you took notes when researching your role.

Role Representation Sheet: This sheet contains all of the
information you found on your role. It also includes a picture, or
pictures, of your assigned role. The pictures can be copied from a
Web site, book, or can be hand drawn. Make sure you label all
images!

Group Sheet: This sheet must be filled out by all group members.
Don’t leave any blanks!

Final Analysis: This part should be done individually and should
not match your other group members' answers. Please note,
answers of "I don't know" are unacceptable. You must think hard
and answer all parts of this task for credit. If you lost your sheet,
please answer the following questions on a separate piece of
paper:

1. The war was a stalemate and didn’t progress. Why do you think
countries continued to fight instead of ending the war early?

2. Life in the trenches caused soldiers to feel a combination of boredom
and terror. If you were in a trench, how would you combat these feelings?

3. If you lived through the war, which conditions would have bothered you
the most? Why?

4. How would our current situation (lives) change if the war in Iraq were
fought like World War I?

Bibliography: This sheet should list all of your sources. Make sure
you cite at least three Web sites!

2. Always make your cartoon symbolic.
   
3. Make your title creative.
   
4. Make sure if you gave your cartoon to a teacher or friend, it is symbolic enough to make them think about the idea.
   
5. Have fun.

Homework #6-2

In recent years movies have reflected some of the ideas believed by the Society of the Harmonious Fists. Through mental and physical techniques humans would be able to dodge or block bullets. Please explain another time when a weaker force attempted to rebel against a stronger force through unconventional methods. You may use history, historical fiction or movies to make your point. Please cite the evidence and write a compare and contrast, four-paragraph essay about the Boxer Rebellion to this real or fictional struggle. 

 The Chinese Boxer Rebellion 

Around 1900, after many years of succumbing to the superior 
military of the West, the Chinese stood up for their country. China 
was a weak, backwards, country, exploited by the West. They felt that 
they could counter the foreign domination, but reforms were useless 
because they needed the West to help with the reforms. But something 
sparked their confidence, and they believed themselves to be able to 
conquer any foreign power. This spark was the Society of Harmonious 
Fists, commonly known as "Boxers." Combined with unhappy people, and 
new weapons technology, the Chinese rebelled against the foreign
powers.

 The first reason of this confidence was the Boxer Society, which 
formed in North China after the Sino-Japanese war, but wasn't well 
known until 1898 in Shantung. This organization was actually a cult, 
following strange and absurd practices of defense. It had no central 
leaders, and the practices varied in different locations. Their goal 
was to rid China of the foreign menace. The boxers were different from 
most other rebels of their time. They would conduct public physical 
exercises that were supposed to make a magical shield to protect one 
against foreign bullets and shells. These looked similar to a boxers
training exercises so the westerners nicknamed the members of the 
Society of Harmonious Fists "Boxers." Rather then using foreign 
weapons, they relied on magical spirits and swords, knives, staves, 
and pole arms to drive the foreign devils from their precious home 
country. The membership of this group consisted of mostly the 
criminals, poor, and illiterate of China who wore a simple uniform 
consisting of a red armband, sash, or waistcloth. These people truly 
believed that magic would protect them, and help remove the foreigners 
from China. That gave them enough confidence to try to destroy the 
foreigners. Missionaries were killed, railroads were destroyed, and 
churches were burned all in the name of independence from foreign 
rule.

 Another key aspect in the rebellions against the west was a 
series of natural disasters that swept China during the last decade of
the nineteenth century. Famine struck, droughts prevented the planting 
of crops, and to top it all, the Yellow river flooded, causing the 
destruction of 1,500 villages and 2,500 square miles of countryside. 
These disaster lead to unhappiness of the people. In order to keep 
them from turning on the government, the Dowager Empress, Tsu Hsi, 
encouraged the peasants to rebel against the foreigners. Some of these 
angry people joined the Boxers, and others rebelled alone, but they 
had the Empress behind them, giving them encouragement, and making 
them feel ready to take on the demons from the West.

 The third reason that the Chinese felt ready to face the West, 
was a new weapons technology. This was the machine gun, which had both 
physical and symbolic power. It could physically kill many more people 
then a regular rifle, because of its ability to spray bullets and fire 
more then one round per pulling of the trigger. Symbolically, it 
represented a method which the west had used to subdue the Chinese, 
and now the Chinese were going to use it against the west. This 
inspired confidence and made the people ready to fight, knowing that 
they could fight machine gun with machine gun.

 The Chinese were tired of being looked down at by the west. The 
people were unhappy, armed, or bullet proof, and the Queen encouraged 
them to fight the west. With all this support how could one not feel 
ready to fight the West?
