World War I Net-Quest: Resources

These are the main sources you should be working with:

The BBC on World War I: This site gives valuable information and personal accounts of generals, soldiers, and leaders that you can't get anywhere else. Plus it has a wealth of knowledge, facts, and stories that can be sued for your benefit. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwone/

MSN Encarta on World War I: Encarta has a very general overlay of what World War I included warfare wise through its entirety. This may be very general and short but it’s a good place to start and get your bearings if you need some help. Otherwise refer back to your book or come talk to me. http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761569981/world_war_i.html

First World War.com: You couldn't ask for a website with more information. The link provided shows everything that went out and the big dates that it happened. Also the entire website is up for grabs so use what you find and follow the links from this website to more information. If you find something you are unsure about please come talk to me. http://www.firstworldwar.com/origins/index.htm

World War I Troops Statistics: If you want anything on troop numbers. Use this website. It has everything you need and make sure you do it right because I will be watching how many armies you use on your board when it comes to the actual days of reckoning that we will be having during the League of Nations meetings. http://www.digitalsurvivors.com/archives/worldwar1troopstats.php

World War I information: Here is where your heavy research comes in. This website can point you in the direction of a huge number of primary sources and documents. Many of them having differing views but this is what the point to giving you a certain freedom to find what you want to find. Make sure you use it. If you need help please come and get me. http://www.yale.edu/collections_collaborative/WW1/economy.html

The League of Nations: Want to learn more about how it functioned and what worked? Go here! Also research who you’re going to look like. There are many characters to dress up as. Remember, this gives you extra credit beyond what is on the rubric, if you bring in props and dress up like the person you are suppose to be. If you are a Scribe or Aide, it’s all free game. Make up a character if you want. http://www.indiana.edu/~league/

Only use what is on these websites, besides the economy one 2nd from the bottom. With that it tells you on the right hand side to go look at ORBIS and Wikipedia. I suggest you do this so you may get, an upper hand on those around you at the League. More info to come later.
