World War I Assignment

I have added a new blogger assignment to go with our study of World War I. It is posted on schoolnotes. It asks that you check out http://www.firstworldwar.com and explore the site. Post your reactions to the blog.

Whoa. Am I really the first person to comment on this? Crazy... Well, I checked this sight out, and there's some pretty crazy stuff on here. One would think fighting would be a little on the primitive side, but they (especially the Germans) had some nasty stuff. Flamethrowers and Phosgene gas...Mmmmmm. There's also a rather amusing story on the page about the first fighter planes. This sight's cool because it really makes it easy to get how WWI started. The whole build up of global tensions/ unhappiness isn't always easy to get. And on top of that, if you're looking for mass quantities of old documents, look no further. Overall, I give this sight two thumbs and one big toe up. I'd give it the other big toe, but I'm sitting on it right now, and my foot is asleep. Good night.

This sight was pretty neat. I found it was very informative and found some interesting facts on it. The war seemed a bit more civilized than the books made it. I found it interesting in how the two sides could argue that each was right. Overall I think the site was very nice and informative.
