1. WW1 Trench Investigation
Make a model of a trench. Include a detailed information booklet to explain the key features.
Create a PowerPoint about a key battle in the trenches. You could look at the Battle of the Somme. Include details about the main weapons used, the tactics and the casualties.
Research propaganda posters in WW1. Develop your own propaganda poster to encourage men to join the army.
Create a poster to encourage people to remember the sacrifice that the soldiers made in WW1. Include details about the poppy and why it has been chosen as a symbol of remembrance.
Complete the Trench Project.
Collect photos, documents, artefacts and memories about one soldier who fought in the trenches (You may choose a family member). Write a summary or create a PowerPoint of their experiences to be presented to the class.
Make a collection of at least 10 interesting photos about the experience of life in the trenches. Add a two sentence description to each photo to explain why it is significant.
Research poetry from the trenches. Write your own poem about the horrors of the trenches.
Make some authentic rations for WW1 soldiers in the trenches. Keep a video diary or written diary of your experiences.

3. Learning Intelligences:
Verbal / Linguistic Intelligence
ability to use words and language
These learners have highly developed auditory skills and are generally elegant speakers. They think in words rather than pictures.
Their skills include:
listening, speaking, writing, story telling, explaining, teaching, using humour, understanding the syntax and meaning of words, remembering information, convincing someone of their point of view, analyzing language usage.
Visual / Spatial Intelligence
ability to perceive the visual
These learners tend to think in pictures and need to create vivid mental images to retain information. They enjoy looking at maps, charts, pictures, videos, and movies.
puzzle building, reading, writing, understanding charts and graphs, a good sense of direction, sketching, painting, creating visual metaphors and analogies (perhaps through the visual arts), manipulating images, constructing, fixing, designing practical objects, interpreting visual images.
Kinaesthetic Intelligence
ability to control body movements and handle objects skilfully
These learners express themselves through movement. They have a good sense of balance and eye-hand co-ordination. (e.g. ball play, balancing beams). Through interacting with the space around them, they are able to remember and process information.
dancing, physical co-ordination, sports, hands on experimentation, using body language, crafts, acting, miming, using their hands to create or build, expressing emotions through the body
Logical / Mathematical Intelligence
ability to use reason, logic and numbers
These learners think conceptually in logical and numerical patterns making connections between pieces of information. Always curious about the world around them, these learner ask lots of questions and like to do experiments.
problem solving, classifying and categorizing information, working with abstract concepts to figure out the relationship of each to the other, handling long chains of reason to make local progressions, doing controlled experiments, questioning and wondering about natural events, performing complex mathematical calculations, working with geometric shapes
