It's a great way to introduce the text to them.

As educators, we need to help our students dig for the truth. I really believe we are doing a disservice to them if we allow them to use resources that do not represent fact. Great point! Mon, 07 Feb 2022 23:24:42 -0500 A great strategy to use when students are investigating a particular topic. https://nowcomment.com/documents/300786?scroll_to=2705715 https://nowcomment.com/documents/300786?scroll_to=2705715 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 16:44:16 -0500 I like the idea of using this as an anticipatory set, having students scan and tell me what they noticed in the poem. https://nowcomment.com/documents/300786?scroll_to=2705713 https://nowcomment.com/documents/300786?scroll_to=2705713 Mon, 07 Feb 2022 23:10:00 -0500 A great way to get students to understand what soldiers were going through. https://nowcomment.com/documents/300786?scroll_to=2678178 https://nowcomment.com/documents/300786?scroll_to=2678178 These poems can be used throughout a lesson or unit to help students understand these soldier's experiences and perspectives on the war. Teachers can engage students in a discussion or roundtable in class on how this newspaper of poems help them understand what life was like and if this war had any meaning to them. Mon, 17 Jan 2022 12:09:32 -0500 I could use this to give students some historical perspectives on the soldier experiences of World War I. I like to build background on the events that took place. Students can take this artifact and answer all of the "who" questions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/300786?scroll_to=2677838 https://nowcomment.com/documents/300786?scroll_to=2677838 Students can address questions such as "Who is involved?" "Who is affected by it (World War I)?" and "Who might care"? After addressing these questions in the document, I would invite students to ask about things they are confused about and document these questions. Then, they can enter key words into the Library of Congress's search box to see if they can find the answers to their questions. Thu, 13 Jan 2022 21:25:26 -0500
