 This webquest will address:  EQ: How did WW I affect Amer. life on the homefront?  EQ: How did the Allies win WW I? || **//The Task //** **Work in a team of historians to create a WW I magazine that includes articles about different participants who played various roles during the WW I conflict. ** ||
 * The year is 1917, and the war in Europe is raging. The United States has entered the war, and its troops of volunteers and draftees are being sent to Europe. Though soldiers and pilots were men, many women enlisted as nurses and office workers. The war is having a huge impact on life in the United States. The economy and the government are focused on the war effort, and people and politicians are in heated debates about the involvement of the U.S.
 * **You have been hired by the Oxford Historical Society to compile interviews of participants who lived through WW I in order to document what war is really like. **

**//The Process //** **Step #1 **: Decide who will be responsible for gathering information about each perspective (pilot, nurse, soldier, civilian, artist). **Step #2 **: Everyone in the group should read "background information" links below to get a broad overview of the war. **//Background Information for Everyone //** || [|**The Great War: 1914-1918**]  [] ||  [] ||  || <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> [] ||  || <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> [] ||  || <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> [] ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">You will explore this question through the point of view of a participant in World War I: a pilot, a nurse, a soldier, or a civilian at home.You will use //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">primary source documents //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> - letters, diaries, photos - and other resources.
