History - WWI

As part of our inquiry unit on 'Events that shaped the world' we are looking at major wars and how it has effected people (migrations). Today we started with WWI. Students were given time to research and explore different websites during computer time before completing a Think, Puzzle, Explore sheet as a group.

We continued WWI this afternoon by watching two videos exploring the complexities of the WWI. As we discussed in class, the war was extremely complex. Students were encouraged to focus on the main events such as how the war began, which countries became involved and why, weapons and how the war finished.

We are continuing to focus on WWI tomorrow. Below are the videos we watched today in class in case you would like to watch them again at home.
