Here is the first paragraph of the introduction on why teaching history skills is so important in today’s world: “Teaching history skills to students is an invaluable part of their education, offering far more than just a knowledge of dates and events. It fosters critical thinking, empathy, and a deeper understanding of our complex world. According to research by Barton and Levstik (2004), learning history equips students with the ability to analyse, interpret, and evaluate various sources of information. These skills are increasingly vital in our information-rich age as they enable students to discern bias, recognize different perspectives, and appreciate the context of events and decisions, both past and present”. ► WHAT IS IT?

Studying the Origins of World War One is a standard topic in many high school History Curricula. This teaching package includes a highly detailed and carefully designed presentation using maps, statistics, and contemporary cartoons to explain how Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism each contributed to the outbreak of war in 1914. Accompanying the 22-slide PowerPoint presentation is a 26-page Teaching e-book. This has been designed to serve a dual purpose. A teacher can use it as notes while presenting each slide, or each page can be printed as a handout for students. Each page in the e-book matches one slide. The notes are designed around the types of questions students might ask, e.g., What caused the growth of militarism in Europe? Particular attention is given to explaining the role of nationalism, as this is often the most difficult for students to understand. Also included is a countdown explaining the July Crisis, from the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand to Britain declaring war on Germany. ► WHAT IS IT? An instant DIGITAL DOWNLOAD.
