Technology of World War I - Visual Display Project (Uline)

Important:

French gas attack on German lines
Belgium, 1916 (EyewitnesstoHistory.com)

Use at least 3 different sources to get information
Attach a list of these sources to the back of your display.
At least one source should be a book or an online database.
If you take a sentence or a phrase directly from a book or the internet, you must put it in quotes and write (next to it) where you got it from!

For example: "Unrestricted submarine warfare was a result of desperation and the belief that the ferocity of such a tactic might just keep America out of the war..." (History Learning Site)

Don't forget the dates of the war: 1914-1918!

                               U-boats,    Poison Gas (primary document)

If you have a public library card, you can click here, and then try these databases:

History in Context: US (Gale)
World Book Encyclopedia

(Try entering different search words, like the name of your technology, specific examples/models, specific battles in which you know it was used, "World War I" with the name of your technology, etc.)

Website Ideas:

FirstWorldWar.com (Flamethrowers, machine guns, tanks, airplanes, poison gas)

A professor's analysis of FirstWorldWar.com: ("I would not allow my students to use the Feature Articles in a paper. But I will link to both sites from my class Web sites, and I will refer to both on a regular basis for my own teaching and research.")

EyeWitness to History Website (Eyewitness accounts -- gas, u-boat, trenches, tanks, etc. You can get quotes from people who were actually there!)

Wikipedia...
- not an academic source, cannot be cited in college papers
- in high school, Wikipedia can somtimes be used for informal projects/assignments
- good to use as a starting point, for an overview of topic
- scroll down to bottom, and check the notes, references, and other links for other sources

Specific Ideas for where to look (databases and websites):

Medical Advancements:
Air University
Speech/Lecture on Sanitation & Hygiene from 1918
Look at second-to-last paragraph on this page

Machine Guns:
Encyclopedia Britannica (scroll down to submachine gun)
Another Encyclopedia Britannica article

Aircraft:
Encyclopedia Britannica
for how airplanes were constructed/made:
NASA - Table of contents
- NASA - World War I
NASA - fighter planes
-Check out the model - CFS2 AB-Roland D.VIb
- acepilots.com

Tanks:
(reproduced from) "The People's Almanac" series of books
Encyclopedia Britannica - Tanks
history learning site

Poison Gas:
History Learning Site

Submarines:
Encyclopedia Britannica (don't forget to scroll down to the World War I section)
unrestricted submarine warfare

For the bigger picture (in case you're interested), a Library of Congress essay: The Increasing Power of Destruction: Military Technology in World War I

Would you trust a webpage written by high school students? (Brief info about tanks, gas, & flamethrowers.)
