In this One-Time class we will learn about the historical background and importance of weapons used in World War I, such as rifles, machine guns, flamethrowers, mortars, artillery, poison gas, tanks, aircraft and submarines, among others What separates man from animals is our ability to manufacture and use tools towards a certain advantage—and no war has been fought with fists alone. In this One-Time class, several significant weapons that were used in the First World War, which lasted from 1914 until 1918, will be enumerated. This is an important overview class for those wishing to study the Great War in more depth. A very thorough handout is provided with history skill specific questions and answers which (time permitting) we may address together during class.

Over the past 30 years I have taught I.G.C.S.E, A-Level, I.B., and A.P. History throughout the Atlantic region in both private and public school settings. During that time I have instructed students in a variety of rigorous exam subjects . I am a strong advocate of "immersion education" (historic setting RPG) in the Social Studies classroom. My passion is Military History, which I have been enthusiastically studying my entire life. My present RPG classes involve a number of embedded lessons learned (empathy, teamwork, problem solving, decision-making, etc.) through the Three Pillars of Adventure: Exploration, Role-playing, and Fantasy Combat. My Battles & Generals classes are akin to an "On-Going, interactive discussion-based documentary" as one student put it not too long ago....and that seems about right.Reviews
