Learn all about the WWI Christmas Truce of 1914 in World War I! The war was on and in full swing, but it didn't stop the soldiers in the trenches from ceasing fire, getting to know their enemy a little bit, and even exchanging gifts. It's a wonderful tale about soldiers taking time off from war for a little peace, and is a great lesson for learners to hear around the holidays. Even at such a horrible time in history, when things were at their worst, there were still some people who were at their best. Some of the concepts we'll be discussing are: Short background of WWI Small background of trench warfare How the truce started Units that took part Occurrences: exchanging gifts and playing soccer! Soldier's observations The forced end of the truce, and why it would never again happen in WWI I teach by using slides, original photographs, video clips, discussions and more. There will be several question/answer periods during the session to address questions and comments, such as why soldiers looked the way they did and what trench warfare was like in December. Some prior knowledge of WWI helpful, but not a must. As the teacher, I will be dressed in an original WWI uniform for the session.

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.

Hello, my name is Michael DiMinno and I have been teaching for over 20 years. I hold a Master's degree in Elementary Education and spent most of my tenure as a classroom teacher. Over the past 3 years I have shifted to remote small group instruction and tutoring. At this point, I have taught well over 1,000 students on Outschool and have attained the level of Star Teacher. While I enjoyed being a classroom teacher and tackling multiple subjects, my real passion is teaching history. I believe that being a teacher is the greatest vocation in the world and in order to reach young people effectively, you have to work to make connections with the students and make the material engaging and accessible. I use humor, as well as my vast collection of military uniforms and artifacts, to bring history to life for my students. Outschool learners from all over the world have enjoyed seeing these period uniforms while learning about topics surrounding WWII, WWI, the Civil War, and the American Revolution. I don't handle any firearms, and there are no inappropriate uniforms or symbols.
