GOOD IDEA!!!!!

Tuesday 30th March - Log Entry

Was talking to Katharine today about possible history ideas and thought of a really interesting topic;

"How did Germany sustain its involvement in the First World War from 1914-1918?'

How did Germay fight for so long against the combined power of Great Britain, Russia, the USA, France, Australia, and Great Britain's dominions and colonies???

First Log

17th February 2010 - Went to the Barr Smith Library

The History class had a tour of the library, this will be very useful later when researching my independent history essay.


Monday 22 March 2010 - Set up my blog on Google (found this very confusing). Then began thinking about possible topics for History Essay.

Thinking about my history essay

Possible Ideas: First World War (to link in with my course work).

Personal Interest Topics:

Women on the Home Front (Great Britain).
Royal Families in the War.
Propaganda in the War - How it was used to recruit soldiers throughout the world.

These would relate to Options 1,5,7 and 8 in the Sace curriculum statement.
