Statistics of World War I

This Storyboard That activity is part of the lesson plans for World War I (1914-1918)

Activity Overview

When studying WWI, it's important for students to understand the significance on a global scale. In this activity, students will create a spider map highlighting significant statistics relating to the war. Students can use the "Infographics" section of the Storyboard Creator to help them create their projects. Visualizing data is a great way to help students remember it, rather than having them memorize numbers without context.
