Learn all about the First World War from someone who has been teaching it to this age group for 2 decades! There will be fifteen immersive sessions that will cover the lead-up to the conflict to the end of the war, The Treaty of Versailles, and the long-term effects of the war. I teach by using slides, original photographs, video clips, discussions, and more. There will be question/answer periods and both group and individual opportunities to offer answers and opinions about the subject. I...

- Students will analyze and explain the geopolitical, economic, and social factors that contributed to the outbreak of World War I. This includes exploring topics such as imperialism, nationalism, militarism, and the system of alliances in Europe.
- Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of major events, battles, and campaigns during World War I. This includes the Battle of the Somme, Verdun, Jutland, and Gallipoli.
- By the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate the broader global impact and legacies of World War I.
I have been a teacher since 2001 and for most of that time I have been teaching social studies at the elementary or middle school level. Coupled with that, my collection of military uniforms and my living history experience add greatly to my lessons.

I have been teaching military history to elementary students since 2001 and parents have appreciated the approach I use given the age of the students. I try to keep our study away from the more age inappropriate topics, such as The Holocaust, harsh treatment of POW's, etc. It is not that these topics aren't important, it's just that the age range for these lessons (8-14) is a bit on the younger side, so I feel that they are better left to teachers of older grades. When I do get questions about the more disturbing aspects of the war, I might answer along the lines of, "these soldiers went into this country and did not treat the people there well," instead of giving specifics. Having said this, please be aware that these classes are about warfare and military history. One aspect of this is to talk about weapons from the corresponding era, and to discuss advancements in military technology. I don't handle any firearms personally, but we do discuss weapons and technology and I show pictures and videos when appropriate. If your learner is sensitive to this kind of subject, and may get frightened or upset upon seeing a picture of a rifle, cannon, tank or bullet, then this may not be the class for them. This is a class about military history, and there is no way to avoid this, so please take this into account before signing up.
There are many sources that I use for this course. Primary documents such as the Zimmerman Note, period newspaper articles and original war diaries will all be referenced in this course. There are also many books and websites that I use as well, such as YouTube, where I carefully vet age-appropriate videos for the learners. Some examples of books that I will use include: The First World War by John Keegan The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger Poilu by Louis Barthas All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
