Anzac Day Collection

Produced for TVNZ and Turkish TV, it focuses on four young people, two Turks and two New Zealanders, descended from Gallipoli veterans, as they explore the grim reality of their ancestors’ experience. Six Māori Battalion soldiers camped in Italian ruins wait for night to fall. In the silence the bros-in-arms distract themselves with jokes before a tohu (sign) brings them back to reality.

This seminal 1984 documentary tells the stories of the New Zealand soldiers who were part of the identity-defining Gallipoli campaign in World War I.

This post is the 2nd in a series written by my guest, Susan. Read part one: Teaching Ancient History With Star Trek. To Boldly Go…Into European History Of the three episodes that lend themselves well to approaching events in European history, two are among my very favorites. The first of these is “Wolf in the Fold”, which sets the story of Jack the Ripper on another planet. The other is “Patterns of Force,” which describes another just as fearful time, the reign of Nazi Germany. All Our Yesterdays Summary: Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are sent back in time.

Castle Architecture
Although castle architecture developed over the centuries in line with weapons technology, the principles remained much the same. A good castle provided a secure base that could be easily defended. It needed defenses against frontal attack (thick, high walls and secure entry gates) and from undermining (rock foundations or a moat). It furnished means of repelling attackers while minimising exposure of the defenders (arrow loops, crenellation, machicolations, murder holes). Further, it needed facilities to withstand a siege - a fresh water supply or large cistern and vast supplies of food. A good castle had no dead-spaces - ie external areas that defenders could not fire on, but did provide multiple locations from which vulnerable points could be defended. The best castles provided rings of defence so that defenders could hold out from a citadel even if the outer defences failed. Castles also needed facilities for a garison and living quarters.

Internet History Sourcebooks
Update Information 2006: In 2006 the Internet Medieval Sourcebooks and associated sourcebooks are undergoing a major overhaul to remove bad links and add more documents. 1. This project is both very large and fairly old in Internet terms. 2. 3. The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is organized as three main index pages, with a number of supplementary documents. INTRODUCTION: MEDIEVAL SOURCES ON THE INTERNET Historians teaching medieval history surveys almost always want to combine a textbook, a sourcebook, and additional readings. GOAL: The goal here then has been to construct an Internet Medieval Sourcebook from available public domain and copy-permitted texts. DOCUMENT SIZE: The size of documents for teaching purposes is an issue. TEXTS Since these texts come from a variety of printed materials, translators, and sources, they will vary in quality. USAGE: This Sourcebook is specifically designed for teachers to use in teaching. By pointing students to this web site. Patrick J.

World War I - Kids Social Studies Videos and Lessons that Make Learning Fun and Easy
World War 1 for Kids World War I was a large-scale military conflict involving European nations, United States and other nations across the world. The war lasted from August 4, 1914 to November 11, 1918. More than 15 million people were killed and 20 million people were wounded, making it one of the most devastating conflicts ever. The war ended with the defeat of the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, and the Russian Empire. The League of Nations, an inter-governmental organization, was formed in the hope of preventing another such conflict, but it failed to prevent the World War II, a larger and deadlier global war that started in 1939.
