As in past years, the test will be divided into three sections, each with differing numbers of questions with various point values. The specific nature, in terms of subject, number of questions, and point values is as follows: Section One – General Knowledge: World War I and Its Aftermath 20 questions; one point each Questions will be based on: specific terms from the accompanying list Section Two – Questions based on The Guns of August: The Outbreak of World War I by Barbara Tuchman 15 questions; two points each Section Three – Questions based on information about monarchs / leaders Section Three monarchs / leaders King Albert I Belgium Emperor Karl I/ Charles IV Austria Hungary King Alexander I Serbia / Yugoslavia Sultan Mehmed V Turkey Tsarina Alexandra Russia Sultan Mehmed VI Turkey King Carol I Romania Grand Duke Mikhail Monarch King Constantine I Greece Tsar Nicholas I Russia Franz Ferdinand Austria-Hungary King Peter Serbia / Yugoslavia King Ferdinand I Romania King Vittorio Emanuele III Italy Tsar Ferdinand I Bulgaria Kaiser Wilhelm II Germany Emperor Franz Josef I Austria-Hungary Crown Prince Wilhelm Germany King George V United Kingdom 10 questions; three points each UIL Social Studies Student Activity Conference 2015 3 Tips on Writing an Analytical Essay for the UIL Social Studies Contest The essay is a critical portion of the UIL Social Studies contest. It reveals a student’s ability to analyze and synthesize events and issues rather than simply regurgitate data. The purpose of the analytical essay is to make meaning of a particular event or artifact, to provide the reader with a more full and clear understanding of the subject. Contestants should not lose sight of the simple fact that the essay score accounts for no less than 1/5th or 20 percent of the total test score. In highly competitive contests a mere few points on an essay question will determine the difference between first place and not placing in the top six. A quality essay is a key ingredient of success in the social studies contest! (Remember, according to UIL rules, any student who does not write an essay shall be disqualified.) Tips on writing the analytical essay: • First, read the prompt carefully. Examine the question in a variety of contexts: social, political, scientific, cultural and economic • Open with a clear, precise statement that assimilates all the information you’ve gathered regarding the question. Important: Do not repeat the essay prompt in your opening paragraph. Take it to a new level of understanding. • Defend your statement. • You have 90 minutes for the objective portion of the test and the essay. That’s more time than you’ll probably need, so think first before writing. Outline your essay. Prioritize your points. Then, be specific. Use specific examples.

  • Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why the Other Eight Months Deserve the Same Recognition As the Landing
    THE Simpson PRIZE A COMPETITION FOR YEAR 9 AND 10 STUDENTS 2016 Winner Western Australia Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why The Other Eight Months Deserve The Same Recognition As The Landing Samai King Gifted and Talented Online rom its early beginnings in 1916, Anzac Day and the associated Anzac legend have come to be an essential part of Australian culture. Our history of the Gallipoli campaign lacks a consensus view as there are many Fdifferent interpretations and accounts competing for our attention. By far the most well-known event of the Gallipoli campaign is the landing of the ANZAC forces on the 25th of April, 1915. Our celebration of, and obsession with, just one single day of the campaign is a disservice to the memory of the men and women who fought under the Anzac banner because it dismisses the complexity and drudgery of the Gallipoli campaign: the torturous trenches and the ever present fear of snipers. Our ‘Anzac’ soldier is a popularly acclaimed model of virtue, but is his legacy best represented by a single battle? Many events throughout the campaign are arguably more admirable than the well-lauded landing, for example the Battle for Lone Pine. Almost four times as many men died in the period of the Battle of Lone Pine than during the Landing. Statistics also document the surprisingly successful evacuation - they lost not even a single soldier to combat. We have become so enamored by the ‘Landing’ that it is now more celebrated and popular than Remembrance Day which commemorates the whole of the First World War in which Anzacs continued to serve.

  • April 1915 / Avril 1915
    World War I Day by Day 1915 – 1918 April 1915 / Avril 1915 La premiere guerre mondiale De jour en jour 1915 – 1918 Friends of the Canadian War Museum – Les amis du Musée canadien de la guerre https://www.friends-amis.org/ © 2019 FCWM - AMCG 9 April 1915 The Bunsen Committee: The powerbroker for the Middle East The British Government was puzzled by what would follow a victory against the Ottoman Empire. All major powers of Europe had a stake in the Middle East and the division of the spoils would inevitably bring some difficulties. For a full century, the carving of the Sick Man of Europe had been postponed by conferences to avoid European wars. Prime Minister Asquith therefore created a committee, on 9 April 1915, under a senior Foreign Office diplomat, Maurice de Bunsen, to propose a policy in regard to the division of the Middle East among Allies. The Bunsen Committee had representatives from the Colonial Office, the Admiralty, the India Office and other relevant departments. The War Office was officially represented by General Sir Charles Calwell, but Kitchener Colonel Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes, 6th Baronet (16 March 1879 – 16 February 1919) insisted that he should have his own personal representative on the Committee. That representative was Sir Mark Sykes, a Member of Parliament who was well known as a Kitchener hand with some experience in Constantinople, and who would turn out to influence the committee to the point of singlehanded direction. This committee will produce a first report in June 1915 but will continue as a think-tank for the British government on Middle Eastern developments.

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.
