The Battles of 1918 on the Western Front Lesson
Learning objectives
In this lesson, students will examine why the Allied Powers were able to defeat Germany on the western front in 1918, with a focus on the German Spring Offensive, the entry of American forces, and the adoption of combined arms warfare. They will also explore how the Hundred Days Offensive, culminating in the breakthrough of the Hindenburg Line, brought World War I to an end with the Armistice of 11 November 1918. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading, and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
