Students will conduct a local history project for WWI. They will create a presentation about Missouri’s role in WWI.
Students need to learn more about their local history and place Missouri in the context of WWI. What was life like back then? What would they be doing if they were born during that time? What impact did their own state have on one of the worst wars in history? I also want students to practice researching and presenting.
