web quest proposal

My proposal for my webquest assignment will be a World War One web quest which can be used for secondary history classes. Going in to this web quest students should have a background knowledge in the developments in military technology in the late nineteenth century, the alliance system that was in place in Europe in the early twentieth century, and Canada's role in the world as a British commonwealth country at the outbreak of the war. This web quest will meet the curriculum requirements for history 10, 20 , and 30.

The higher order thinking question that I would like my students to answer from this would be, Canada served under as a common wealth country in World War One defend or critique the role that Canadian citizens played in World War One under British Command.
This topic is important to my students because it sets a foundational knowledge for upper level histories at the 10 and 20 level and because it is an important part of our Canadian history. Understanding Canada and it's role in World War One helps us understand how we have developed our national identity.
A small sampling of the resources available for this web quest are.

This web quest lends itself to many different projects for secondary history classes including letters home from soldiers, recruitment posters, online and offline debates on issues like: womens right to vote or conscription.
Resources that I would use during this web quest would be the computer lab, library, classroom, textbooks, and hopefully guest speakers.
