2.3 Continued

2.3 Trench Warfare and U.S. Entry into WWI

We briefly reviewed Learning A.  On your sheet, do the following:

  • Circle these Central Powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire (modern day Turkey)
  • Circle these Allied Powers: Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, Serbia
  • These are the ones you need to know for the exam (if your wrote down others, that is fine)
  • Look at your map and make these notes at the bottom
    • There is an Eastern Warfront that goes through Russia
    • There is a Western Warfront that goes through France, Italy, and Greece
    • Germany and Austria-Hungary are fighting on both fronts!  That takes a lot of troops!
We then turned our attention to Learning B about trench warfare.
  • Use your textbook to answer the questions on the worksheet
Lastly, we started Learning C, a timeline activity
  • Print the brief timeline and get a detailed timeline from Ms. Kindl
  • Use this presentation to fill in your brief timeline
  • Use your textbook (pages 590-596) to fill-in details on your detailed timeline.  List events in chronological order.  OR find a classmate, and copy their notes.
We did a lot of stuff today!  Please ask Ms. Kindl if you have questions!!
