Intro: As we have discussed in class, History is about people not just names and dates. I want you to see things from the perspective of those who were there. For World War One I want you to "step into their shoes"
Task: You will be visiting www.youtube.com
Once you reach youtube, do a search for World War One. You will find dozens of different videos, 1. Watch a couple of them to get a feeling for the types of images you will be seeing. Make sure the videos and information they are providing is accurate (i.e. the Nazi's were not in WW1).
2. You are now to take on the "role" of either a newspaper journalist or a soldier fighting in the war.
3. You are to write either an article for your newspaper, or a letter home to your friends and family describing what you have seen and how you feel about what you have seen.
4. Post your response (at least 3 paragraphs) along with a link to the video you found most important to what you wrote.
5. Search the other classmates posts, find one you thought was interesting and make a post reflecting on it.
