READ ABOUT IT & ANALYZE IT!

Welcome to the Weapons of World War I Virtual Center.  This virtual center is different from the other virtual centers you have done.  In this center, we will not do a whole group reading.  Instead, you will work quietly with a partner to learn about the different weapons used in World War I.  To do this, click on each of the weapons icons below.  Complete the Weapons of World War I Scavenger Hunt in your Lesson Chronicles with your partner.  Make sure you READ the information.  It will be in your Mission Check!
