WWI Alliances- Fun way to learn about them

Bryan Dibble
Bryan Dibble over 1 year ago

This activity gets a class involved!  On cue, each person with a card stands up and declares the intention of a different country involved in World War I, starting with the announcement by the teacher,  “Gavrilo Princip and the Black Hand have just assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo!”  I would guess many of you have heard of this or have seen it done, maybe even do this in class when you get into a WWI lesson.  It takes a class willing to perform, but I always hand pick the students if the class is larger than 16.

    Bryan, thank for the share.  Julie, thanks for tagging me.  You know me well, this is right up my alley.  Definitely going to try it out (even as just part of an activity).  I wish there were more activities like this for other units.  You might have inspired me a bit to work on one this year OR challenge students to work on their own.

    Love the idea of kids designing their own similar to this on different issues.  Might be a cool idea for my government class actually!  Todd Nussen

    The goal would be students writing their own but I also just like the idea of additional simulations similar to this.  Seems like something that could be used for the French Revolution, Industrial Revolution, etc.
