In this lesson, students will examine how World War I increased civic engagement amongst diverse groups of Americans as they seek to answer the essential question: “How did volunteerism in World War I challenge and redefine notions of citizenship and democratic participation in American society?”
 

Students will first analyze what citizenship and democratic participation means historically and contemporarily before exploring the National WWI Museum and Memorial’s online exhibition The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I and completing a handout to build understanding. They will then complete an image
analysis assessment before concluding the lesson with an extend and reflect activity.
