History 1040

The Great War

Week #6 -

October 6: 

Beginning in this class and continuing into the next class you each will present your talk about all these experiences and tie them in to the larger issue of the "Front Experience."  Make sure you use the links that I put up from last week and that I have put here also.  You will evaluate each other's work and your evaluation is part of your own grade.

• The Trench Experience

• The Human Experience - BBC - use this site to also look for the Front Line Experience

• The German Front Experience

• Excerpts from letters about life on the Front Line

For more help on this view these YouTube clips and links:

• Shell Shock

• Faces of The Great War

• Shell Shock - Verdun

• Shell Shock - short report by Robert Graves

October 8:

We will continue the presentations from last class.  You will be evaluating each other's work, so you must attend to get your own grade.
