KHS American History Students Study WW I

World War I Simulation Flags

Before Christmas break, American History students at Kingman High School participated in a World War I simulation in which they represented six imaginary countries similar to those found in Europe in 1914.  Student groups made flags to represent their countries on the first day and then the second day they went through a variety of negotiations to prevent war.  Students enjoyed this opportunity to have a change of pace from typical class work.  After the break, students learned about the war and the United States' role in the fighting.  They enhanced this knowledge by completing either a poster and oral report about the weapons used in the war or creating the front page of a newspaper featuring a major event from the period.
