Today we begin our examination of WWI and the subsequent interwar period.
Today’s work will involve a webquest with Flipgrid response at the bottom.
NOTE TAKER: MAINQuiz
*Evidence can come from the film study, the notes below, or the interactive*
The Great War itself is not really a part of our curriculum. However, the beginning and end of the war are in our curriculum (weird, I know) so we will keep those ideas in mind.
You need to know that the causes of WWI are what I call the MAIN 5.
Militarism
Alliances
Imperialism
Nationalism
5(S)tupid People -assassination, sinking of the Lusitania, people spoiling for a fight (thinking war is grand)

WEBQUEST:
Today’s major assessment is a webquest using an award winning interactive medium.
LINK: https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2014/jul/23/a-global-guide-to-the-first-world-war-interactive-documentary
You must watch AND interact with 
the following components of the feature:
- Origins 3. Empires 6. Endings
Additionally, watch and interact with at least one other segment of the interactive.
ASSESSMENT: Questions are on Flipgrid (mcintosh201) for your response though you do not need to use FG if you don’t want to. I still recommend the platform though.
Note: You may use any segments except 1, 6, & 7 for your answers. Additionally, They Shall Not Grow Old, which we’ll watch tomorrow, may be used.
All material including the documentary and interactive may be used to fill out your note taker above.
