• Activity: World War I
• The students are learning about the beginnings of
World War One. Some of the students don't quite
understand some of the cultural aspects that
played a part in the lead up to the start of the war.
To help them understand you have the students
split into groups and are assigned a country. Each
group is to give a presentation explaining their
countries involvement in the war. The students
should include in their presentation they should
analyze and explaining some of the war
propaganda used. They will also use letters written
about the war by their countries citizens during the
war. Try to read it in the letters original language
and write their own translation, to be used in their
presentation.
