LESSON PLANS FOR THIS EPISODE
[ Ссылка ]
This History For Humans episode teaches the sinking of the Lusitania, German submarine warfare, and what caused America to enter the Great War. It tells the dramatic story of Lusitania itself and the last tour it took before being shot down by German U-boats and why that moved America and Wilson into war. This story-lecture also unpacks the start and causes of World War I (the 'Main' causes) in Europe, America's neutrality, and the events that led America, under President Wilson to declare war including the Zimmerman Note, Sussex Pledge, and unrestricted submarine warfare.
Like all History For Humans lesson it includes interactive notesheets, a quick quiz, and an extension lesson that has students complete a reading on America's entrance into WWI and introduces propaganda and how it was used during the war. Students then create an original propaganda poster on the Lusitania to build support for the war effort! Exciting, engaging, and relevant!
I hope you enjoy it,
