  • Join to access all included materials

Explained as part of a whole-unit, a group newspaper project gives life to any study on WWI. This plan has historians using notes from class to "illustrate" WWI to their classmates through various articles. Not much information is provided on the newspaper assignment itself, but consider fleshing out the details yourself. The idea is described within the context of the unit and some of the "optional assignments" could make interesting extension or extra credit ideas.
