2. Introduction to WWI
Here is the Crashcourse video that you can play at the
beginning of class that gives an overview of U.S.
involvement in WWI. Start the video around 0:45-6:30.

3. Lecture Video
This video explains the economic entanglement of the
U.S. that eventually led to their involvement in WWI.
Play this when you lecture about this topic to help
students understand it better.

4. Website
Here is the website that I created that includes the
scavenger hunt that the students will go on. Share this
link with them to allow them to be able to complete the
task.

5. Foreign Policies
Here is a video that explains the current and former foreign
policies. Play this video before the students write their
reflective paragraph about whether or not they would have
made the same decision as President Wilson or would have
made a different decision about entering WWI based off of
this video, readings, and your lecture. If time permits have
the students share their paragraphs with each other, and
have a couple of them present in front of the class.
