My students loved this as an extension to learning about WWI. All of them enjoyed it and we are looking forward to our next one to complete over the Great Depression!
There was one issue with the jigsaw in the second room. It was for jigsaw 4. It said that the “connection was reset” so my students were unable to complete it. Can this be fixed?
Thank you!

This had good information in it, but I don’t like how the Google Form will only take ONE answer written very specifically for the student to succeed. This did lead to some frustration for my students.

I really enjoyed using this activity as a check for understanding with my students over different aspects of World War I. This was challenging to many students but if they took their time, it was completely solvable for just about any student. This could be modified to meet the needs of any type of learner.
