World War I Project Based Task Cards

Task cards promote student choice and differentiation, allowing learners to select projects that match their interests and strengths while covering the same historical content. They encourage active, hands-on learning rather than passive note-taking, making history more engaging. Teachers can easily scaffold for different ability levels, and the format supports flexible implementation—such as stations, independent work, or group rotations—fostering independence and reducing classroom management issues.
