the causes and key events that led to the turning
point
Wednesday, December 7, 2011
Monday, December 5, 2011
Web Quest- Learning Objective: You will summarize the causes, events, and effects of World War I.
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!
