Enhancing World History Lessons: America's Involvement in WWI

This lesson plan, created by Susan Stenzel at Gardena High School, explores America's role in World War I for a 10th-grade World History class. Focusing on the causes and impacts of the war, students learn about the human costs on military and civilian lives. The integration of technology, including web resources and presentations, aims to engage students and enhance their understanding of the war's nature. Despite some challenges such as limited tech access, the lesson fosters student interest and knowledge of WWI, aligning with California State Standards.
