America in World War I
Gather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history. Multi-Day Seminars are a free opportunity for teachers hosted near an important historical site. Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet. Once the seminar begins, the discussion leader guides a peer-to-peer, text-based conversation among all participants. Meals, materials, double-occupancy rooms, and historical site visits are 100% covered by 澳门六合彩开奖直播. At the end of each course, every teacher receives a letter of participation for fifteen contact hours of continuing education and a stipend to help defer travel costs.
This seminar will examine primary documents to consider how American participation in World War I transformed American society. We will analyze debates over entering the war and expanding the postwar role of the United States in the world, the homefront mobilization required to fight overseas, challenges to civil liberties during the conflict, the wartime fight for expanded civil rights by women and African Americans, the American soldiers鈥� experience of war, and the enduring legacy of the conflict.
Please note: The Multi Day Application period is September 9-29, 2024
