World War I

Introduction

Good Afternoon 5K! I'm sorry to inform you that I have some regretable news! The internet has declared war on you! They have rallied their troops and decided to pick on the poor, innocent, loveable students of 5K! The internet is powerful, oh boy is the internet powerful. Don't underestimate the size of the challenge which is before us. It will be gruelling, it will push you to your limits. Some of you may come out of the other side as new people, changed by the adversity of a killer WebQuest... others may not make it out at all...

This WebQuest will test:

  • your concentration
  • your mental strength
  • your perseverence
  • your ability to draw appropriate information from webpages!

All I can say now is... GOOD LUCK!

Task

To defeat the internet, you must master the internet. You must prove that you are able to successfully navigate and conquer the internet, taming it and bringing it under your control.

Your mission: By the end of this quest, you will be able to label (on a map!) the countries in Europe (and beyond!) that were involved in World War 1. You will know all there is to know about each of the countries involved.

Your time: You have the rest of this lesson!

Process

Battle 1
There are a number of armies from World War 1 that have offered to help you out... of course, these armies are from 1914 (time travel is only possible in cyberspace! Luckily that is exactly where this battle is taking place)

All statistics must be accurate to the year 1914!
