Grades 9-12 Activity
World War I Newspaper
2018 Massachusetts Curriculum Framework WHII.T4.3
Students will use the articles within the Pack to support their understanding of World War I and to create a newspaper article from the perspective of one country that describes the war’s impact throughout its duration.
Activity:
Each student will be assigned a country that was involved in World War I. Using the information in the LaunchPack, students will complete a Main Idea & Detail Graphic Organizer to identify the main reason why the country participated in the war and the details that supported their reason to join. Once students have determined the reasons for entry into the war, they will write a newspaper article announcing the war to the public, give the reasons for entry, and explain the potential impact on the economy and the culture of the European home front.
