Activity Overview
When studying WWI, it's important for students to understand the significance on a global scale. In this activity, students will create a spider map highlighting significant statistics relating to the war. Students can use the "Infographics" section of the Storyboard Creator to help them create their projects. Visualizing data is a great way to help students remember it, rather than having them memorize numbers without context.
Significant Statistical Topics
- Military Casualties of WWI
- Civilian Casualties of WWI
- Financial cost of the war
- Widows/Orphans created by the war
- Refugees of WWI
- Deadliest battles of WWI
- Prisoners of War of WWI
- Deaths caused by disease throughout the War
- % of total population lost
- # of military items (guns, bullets, mines, bombs) used by country
- Casualties by Month/Year during the war
- # of PTSD or “shell shocked” soldiers
