Day 36: Major battles invovling Canadians

Youtube: "Crash Course on World War I."  A very interesting look at World War I (11:44 min)
Link to the CLIP

Pages 35 to 37.  No man's land.  Western front.  Life in the trenches.  Nw technology and war

Read 37 to 39.  Ypres.  Somme.  Passchendaele.  Vimy Ridge.
Make own notes on:
a) Outcome (successful?)
b) How were Canadians involved?
c) Key people (Generals?)

Additional notes for the four battles: Four major battles printout

Watched a clip from All Quiet on the Western Front.
This gives us idea of poor training methods, poor conditions, devastating injuries, loss of innocence, and the futility of trench warfare

UNIT TEST ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23
