52 Weeks of World War I History!

This course will look at World War I history on a weekly basis.  Each week will cover various different military operations, developments, or battles that occurred during that week between 1914 and 1918.  This class will look at significant events from both sides of the conflict.  While the military operations and developments of the countries will be focused on, significant social and political events will also be mentioned.   
The class will run as an ongoing course, meaning that if students do not withdraw from the course, parents will be billed weekly for our meetings.  Students are free to join and withdraw as they please from this course.  

Each week will include a PowerPoint presentation of one (or several) events in World War I history that occurred in that particular week. We will utilize educational video clips that will help students to understand the weekly content.  Additionally, we will end class each week with a fun video that is from or about World War I, or an activity like Bingo, a Word Search, or an online game that pertains to the era. 

Students are encouraged to do their own (optional) research each week and share their findings in class.  
The instructor will be available digitally during the week through the Outschool classroom to consult with students who have elected to attend class in any particular week and have chosen to complete the optional research.
