Lesson Plan:
- Begin with a brief discussion and lecture on Armistice and the end
of World War I. How did it come about, and who was affected in what
ways? (Treaties and reparations)
- Discuss the fact that 13 million total soldiers died, and 50 000
Canadian Soldiers died and are buried in France and Belgium.
- Discuss the conflicting emotions of joy and sorrow as a result
of the end of WWI. Ask students how they think people felt at that
time: elated at the end of war, devastated by the terrible losses.
- Why was it called the war to end all wars?
- Have students write a newspaper article proclaiming the end of war
- explore the joy, as well as ideas about 'victory', 'heroes', 'losses',
etc...

the teacher has set for the assignment (e.g. length, number of points to

- Use the rubric as a tool for evaluating the Newspaper Article.
