Social Studies 8

Today students learned that WWI marked the beginning of modern warfare through the use of airplanes, poison gas, and machine guns. WWI also marked the first use of trench warfare. Students learned about the unpleaseant conditions soldiers experienced while in the trenches, then participated in a simulation of trench warfare. Students concluded that trench warfare is an ineffective strategy because it results in a stalemate.

Assignment: Complete the Trench Warfare worksheet - due today in class if finished, otherwise can be turned in tomorrow with no penalty.
