Year 8 Extended Homework Task- Pathway 3 World War One – Trench Art ‘Trench Art’ is a term used to describe objects made from the debris and by-products of modern warfare. Trench Art is usually associated with the First World War, although similar items have been produced in other conflicts too. Most Trench Art was made by servicemen to pass the time when not in the front line. While much of it was simple and amateurish, the production of some examples required metalworking skills or workshop facilities. This industry continued after the war, with trench art-type objects being created for sale as souvenirs to the visitors to battlefields and cemeteries, and such items are still manufactured to this day. TASK - Find two images of trench art. Paste (or draw) each image into the space provided. Image 1: I think this image was made from Image 2: I think this image was made from __________________________ _________________________ __________________________ __________________________ __________________________ __________________________ __________________________ __________________________ Ext Create your own piece of ‘Trench Art’ using materials from around the home. Year 8 Extended Homework Task- Pathway 4 World War One – Read all about it! War in Europe On 28 June 1914, a Serbian shot an Austrian. Within six weeks, many of the countries of Europe had become involved in a war that was to cause the deaths of 10 million soldiers, but was the assassination the only cause of war? Four underlying causes of war The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand signalled the rapid slide into world war, but this wasn't the only cause. There were underlying causes in the run-up to the First World War. In the 1930s, historians argued that there were four underlying long-term causes of the First World War: Nationalism - the belief that your country is better than others. This made nations assertive and aggressive. Imperialism - the desire to conquer colonies, especially in Africa. This brought the powers into conflict - Germany wanted an empire. France and Britain already had empires. Militarism (Arms Race) - the attempt to build up a strong army and navy gave nations the means and will to make war. Alliances - in 1882, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy formed the Triple Alliance. This alarmed, France, Britain and Russia. By 1907, they had all joined the Triple Entente. Europe was divided into two armed camps, to help each other if there was war. Task Produce a newspaper front page from EITHER Britain or Germany the day after war was declared explaining the lead up to the war and people’s reactions. You must include: A headline A picture Details on the M.A.I.N causes of the War and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand An interview with either a British or German citizen. You may use the Blank template on the next page to help you if you wish.
