World War I Immersion

Posted : 25-Aug-2016 FAVOURITE

Year 9 History was brought to life with a day-long World War I immersion. The activities included performances of music from the era, presentations on World War I uniforms and photographs and sessions on poppy making, scrapbooking, story-telling, cadet drill and an investigation into Ravenswood’s Lone Pine and War Memorial. The students made Anzac cookies for morning tea and were absorbed by the classic film Gallipoli and its depiction of the futility of war.
