Place all of the information you gathered into one file (properly labeled, organized, and sourced). Use Word or Notepad to do this. Do not forget to save your file at the end of the period.

OR

• Research the following aspects of air combat during WWI: Zeppelins, Red Baron, dogfights, and Billy Bishop and explain how each changed the face of war by 1918. 

OR

• Research the following key elements of the War at Sea during WWI—wolf packs, U-boats, convoys, and the sinking of the Lusitania and explain how each changed the face of war by 1918. 

The culminating activity for this Unit (World War One) will be the completion of a digital scrapbook, using any of the following programs – Publisher or Word. You will have one more work period to complete this assignment. Completed scrapbook pages must be placed in your Hand-in folder the Monday following the last work period. The rubric for the Scrapbook Assignment is on the back of the assignment page.
