Final Design by Joanne Tate June 2nd, 2024. Introduction: When brainstorming on how to fill the final few weeks of school, I landed on spending time on social studies. My students and I worked all year on perfecting their math skills leading up to the Georgia Milestone, and I was told all year my focus is math and anything else I am able to fit in is icing on the cake. Well since I teach Math, Science, and Social Studies, you can imagine what fell to the side due to us testing on Math and Science. My students had all heard of World War 1, but they had not studied it, so I did a brief synopsis of what happened before World War I. Students had been begging for Social Studies, so the silence was filled with excitement, and considering …show more content…

In this class I have learned a lot about Project Based Learning infused with creativity, and due to my standard being focused on U.S involvement, I wanted the students to be able to complete a project where they could research any part of World War I, and learn more about the war.

Summarizer: At that point I will stop the students and pass out a lined piece of paper. On the board will be the following exit ticket: Answer these questions on your paper and then pack up and line up: 1) What was the United States stance on joining World War I before the Lusitania? 2) Why was Germany attacking ships coming into Britain wars? 3) How did the Lusitania change United States Stance after joining World War I? Reflection: Overall the lesson was successful. The students thoroughly enjoyed the roleplaying and the story telling. I am writing the reflection after school has finished, and I have to say the amount of love they put into their projects was incredible. I have never seen such drive from my students. They truly enjoyed being able to pick which project to complete. One of my students chose the news reporter, she only had to write one article, but she chose to write three for different parts of World War I. She then brought changes of clothes and filmed her like she was a newscaster. She even made slides to go with each of her reports. She did all of this after just looking at the menu item she wanted to do. Another student made actual trading cards by

The events that led to The United States joining the war were the Zimmerman telegram and the sinking of the Lusitania; therefore, these events shifted The United States’s position from neutral to fighting. World War I, also known as the Great War, was not originally on The United States’s agenda; however, Germany’s careless actions caused The United States to join the war. The sinking of the Lusitania was a turning point in the war because it was a passenger ship that was sunk by German U-Boats, or submarines.

Seren Pisella 4/19/23 World War I was a life altering war that changed the way we lived and led to new periods in life. European tensions (the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand) really caused the war, and new advances in technology gave way to incredible combat and countless deaths. Most of these fights, however, didn’t really lead to anything, and just led to pointless fighting. But eventually the Allied Powers gained the upper hand, and the Central powers asked for a truce of sorts. This led the Allies to come together and try to craft something to make everyone happy.

As he had wanted to start the war through democracy the sinking of the Lusitania and the 1198 people killed of which 128 were Americans also impacted the decision of going to war.

How did World War I increase U.S. power? As a result of World War I the United States experienced relative and absolute gains in power and influence, as the former world powers of Europe were reduced to mere shells of their former selves by war debts, dried up economies, and an unrecoverable loss of life. The United States’s participation in the Great War solidified its status as the world’s leading economic and military power, primed to become the world’s dominant political power, a superpower in the making. The United States was on the cusp of greatness, but it would take another world war for it to accept this responsibility with earnestness and welcome the status of superpower.

In the **** I could have added a visual for them to look back at. Choosing a character all students were familiar with would have helped them understand how to use the given information to understand the characters viewpoint.
