Day 17

CHAPTER 11 World War 1 and The Russian Revolution


Objective:
Students will be able to analyze the arguments leaders from all sides of the Great War and the role of political and economic rivalries, ethnic and ideological conflicts, domestic discontent and disorder, and propaganda and nationalism in mobilizing the civilian population in support of "total war"
Examine the principal theaters of battle, major turning points, and the importance of geographic factors in military decisions and outcomes (eg., topography, waterways, distance, climate)

Rationale:
The "War to End all Wars" has many different interpretations as to its cause, its various changes and turns during, and its outcome. The effects of the war impacted many changes that occurred after its end (depression, WWI, etc). Students should understand the environment that led to the first war that was not relegated to one specific area but impacted an entire continent as well as other surrounding continents.

Evidence:
Being able to list the factors which led to the conflict, evaluate those factors for their merit or lack there of, and propose possible solutions that may have prevented the war, or changed the terms of the surrender which may have prevented or altered the World War that followed will allow students to gain insights as to how historical events were addressed.

CHAPTER 10 TEST

When you are finished, continue to work on the 2nd semester timeline...(5 major take-aways from Chapter 8, 9, and now 10)...the goal of this activity is to identify the "major" or "significant" events/laws/treaties/people that had a major impact on history moving forward. i.e. the Meiji Restoration would be an example from chapter 10, it literally changed Japan from a feudalistic regionally controlled country to a Western Influenced Industrialized manufacturing nation that attacked the USA with aircraft carriers and submarines.

In addition, Chapter 11 Section #1 should be started.
