Good morning, class! Today, we're going to embark on an exciting journey back in time to learn about World War 1, also known as the Great War. But before we dive into the facts and figures, let’s warm up our imaginations with a fun and creative activity!
Here’s what we’re going to do:
Choose Your Character: Each of you will pick a character from a list of people who lived during World War 1. You can be:
Create a Backstory: Take a few minutes to think about who your character is and what their life might have been like during the war. What challenges did they face? What were their hopes and fears? Write down a few sentences to describe your character.
Share Your Story: Once everyone has created their character, we’ll gather in a circle. Each of you will take turns sharing your character's story with the class. Pay attention, because you’ll have a chance to ask questions and learn more about the different lives affected by the war!
Understanding World War 1 is not just about dates and battles; it's about the people who lived through it. By stepping into the shoes of someone from that time, we can better understand the impact of the war on individuals and families around the world.
Once we share our characters, we'll transition into our lesson on the causes, major events, and consequences of World War 1. Let’s get ready to become historians and uncover this pivotal moment in our world’s history!
For now, let’s seal our stories with a handshake and get ready for an engaging lesson!
Are you all excited? I know I am! Let’s get started!
