World War I

On Monday 13th, Apr. we began our look into World War I. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) Read Chapter 23 Section 1 and complete the following worksheet.

Worksheet: Road to WWI

2) Unfortunately, the documentary we watched will not upload to the blog. Therefore you will need to do a little research on your own and answer the following questions in a 1 page summary:

- Which new weapons/ tactics were introduced during WWI (e.g., tanks, airplanes, poison gas, trench warfare, machine guns, flamethrowers, etc.)?
- Describe these weapons. How did they work, what problems or benefits did they have, how were they used?
- How did these new weapons/tactics affect the soldiers and the fighting of WWI?
- What advantages/disadvantages did these weapons/tactics provide for the armies using them?

Thanks.
