In this lesson, students were expected to bring their writing journals with them to class along with their notebooks and textbook. We spent the first part of class discovering what knowledge of WWI the students already had through use of the Classroom Response System (or clickers) and then students received a blank handout found here. If your child was absent, please have them print this out before returning to class as we will be referring to it over the next few days.
We next took notes on causes of the Great War, the key political figures involved and the alliances that were formed prior to the wars start. A podcast of the lecture notes and a copy of the PowerPoint will shortly be available on Blackboard under Lecture Material for the students to use.
Today's homework assignment is for the students to finish their journal entries started in class and type a clean version in their class blog. The full set of instructions for this assignment may be found under the Assignments tab on Blackboard.
