Exploring the WWI trunk

Students are introduced to some basic ideas about WWI. Students are discovering which countries were involved and how warfare has changed since the Civil War. It was considered the Great War since so many countries were involved worldwide. Students explored the role of the trenches, submarines, and airplanes. A war that was touted to be a "quick" effort that should be over by Christmas, dragged on for years. 

Below, you can see students exploring the WWI trunk from the Missouri State Museum.
