Lesson 6: Perspectives and Experiences




Hello History students,

This lesson will continue on with the work we began last lesson on the experiences of Allied and German soldiers and their changing attitudes to the War.

You have two tasks to complete this lesson:

1) Source Treasure Hunt

You have 10 to 15 minutes to locate and analyse 2 primary sources from the Internet. You may use some of the links provided on the right-hand side of this posting as a starting point, but it is expected you will also conduct your own search.

The sources must take the form of personal recount, letter, or diary entry.

One must be from a German perspective and the other must be from an Allied perspective.

Using the questions from our source round robin lesson, you must analyse your sources, ready to share your results.

After we have discussed some sources as a class, your next step is to create a table or a mindmap in MS Word to show the similarities and differences between the two sources you collected.

This must be saved to your school folder, posted as a comment to this message, but also printed and submitted to your teacher. Don't forget to reference your sources- the name and URL etc.

2) Your second task is to read the background provided in the links below on Rupert Brooke and Erich Maria Remarque.

Rupert Brooke

Erich Maria Remarque

When you have read through these, predict the attitude to war that might be seen in works by these authors as a preparation for further offline classwork on sources.
