WWI Quiz Outline and Prep

Hola everyone...

The WWI quiz will be this week - focusing on pages 24-44 & 48

Key Topics include:

• Causes and Canada's Response to War
• Triggering Event and Chain of Events that led to war (political cartoon)
• Military Strategy and Technology - key inventions during WWI
• 4 Key Battles - Ypres, Somme, Passchendaele, and Vimy Ridge
• Battle of the Skies - "Black Flight"
• Battle of the Seas - convoys, u-boats, Lusitania and Halifax Explosion
• Role of Women in War
• Role of Minorities in War   

After we write the quiz next class, we will continue with Canada's "Home Front", and wrap up this major world conflict.  We will analyse the positive and negatives of the conflict, as well as the effects of the Treaty of Versailles.  Expect your unit test on Chapter 2 to be at the shortly before Christmas.

May the Force be with you...
