Letters Home: Letters Inspired by Investigating WWI Photos

In this lesson, students research primary source photographs from World War I, to create a "letter home" to describe the scene, all while answering the following questions: "What can we learn about World War I from photographs?"; "How can research into a soldier's family history help us understand the wider impact of World War I?"; and "How can close examination of a photo help us understand a different time period?"
