World War I & Water Balloons

I have learned a lot about World War I in the past few weeks. World War I changed so many things about the cultural and political landscape of America. Women finally gained a permanent place in the workforce of America, and the right to vote. African-Americans forged a great northern migration, which was a large factor contributing to the Harlem renaissance. The War Effort stimulated the federal government, and brought about the eighteenth amendment, prohibition. The eighteenth amendment then led to a spike in organized crime, especially bootlegging. The impact of World War I stimulated Americans to shun the rest of the world throughout the 1920's, and focus on inward expansion.

The Water-Balloon/Trench Warfare activity was a perfect cap on the unit. It was a fun way to summarize all that we had learned. I believe that there a very few ways in which the activity could be improved. The only way to improve the activity would be to ensure that everyone brings water balloons.
