2018 Academic Super Bowl Social Studies Resources

Each chapter of The Oxford Illustrated History of the First World War (except Chapter 24) is the source for, at least, six questions. However, Chapter 18: The Entry of the USA into the War and its Effects is the source for 19 questions and Chapter 22: The Peace Settlement is the source for 13 questions. In addition, some other chapters also provide a seventh additional question about the United States. The questions have been divided into two groups: the practice questions” given to coaches and “competition questions” reserved for invitationals and the area and state contests. Chapter 24 was the source for no questions.

WORLD WAR ONE CHRONOLOGY Some students may have difficulty understanding introductory histories and the selective viewpoints of the different authors of the essays in the assigned text may even increase that difficulty. Therefore, students have been provided with a WWI chronology that unifies the different battlefield events described by the various authors. The chronology includes information related to every question about military activities.

EPIC HISTORY TV VIDEOS The six WWI videos on the Epic History website will provide students with a short overview of the conflict that includes easy-to-understand pictures, maps, and narratives. Students should review the history of the war by viewing these videos along with studying the World War One Chronology before starting The Oxford Illustrated History of the First World War which is the source for all contest questions.

STUDY GUIDE All practice and competition questions relate to the information provided in the following parts of the detailed study guide.

 Reading Guide The Study Guides outlines the content of the text in a Reading Guide that lists the headings of each chapter. Some chapters clearly mark introductory and/or concluding sections. Those that are not so clearly marked are noted with italicized words. The Reading Guide also provides various terms, issues, locations, and battles which also relate to specific questions but are not included in the section headings.

 Significant Individuals. The Study Guide includes a list of persons associated with World War One and featured in questions as well as answers. Those persons who students should be able to identify by portrait are designated with an asterisk.

 World War One Geography The Study Guide includes a list of locations associated with World War One and featured in questions as well as answers.

 World War One Vocabulary The list of military and diplomatic words and terms will provide students with definitions that may be necessary in understanding the text. Some of the words and terms may be used in questions.

POWER POINT PRESENTATION At their fall clinic, the coaches viewed a Power Point presentation which explained these resources and provided examples of questions and their relationships to them. Study Guide Page 2

Music from Power Point Presentation

Colonel Bogey March (Slide #1)

The Colonel Bogey March is a popular march composed in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881–1945) (a.k.a. Kenneth J. Alford), a bandmaster who later became the director of music for the at Plymouth. Supposedly, the tune was inspired by a military man and golfer who whistled a characteristic two-note phrase instead of shouting "Fore!" Bogey is now a golfing term meaning "one over par." The Colonel Bogey March was used as a march-past by the 10th and 50th of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during World War One.

English composer Malcolm Arnold added a counter-march, which he titled "The River Kwai March," for the 1957 dramatic film The Bridge on the River Kwai, set during World War II. Consequently, the Colonel Bogey March is often miscredited as River Kwai March. (Wikipedia)

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda (Slide #39)

Written by Scottish-born Australian singer-songwriter Eric Bogle in 1971, And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda tells the gruesome story of a young Australian who is maimed at the Battle of Gallipoli during the First World War. The song incorporates, at its conclusion, the melody and a few lines of lyrics of the 1895 song Waltzing Matilda by Australian poet Banjo Paterson. That song is Australia's best-known bush ballad, and has been described as the country's "unofficial national anthem". The title was Australian slang for travelling on foot belongings in a "matilda" (swag) slung over one's back. (Wikipedia)

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Now when I was a young man I carried me pack And I lived the free life of a rover From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback Well I waltzed my Matilda all over Then in nineteen fifteen my country said Son It's time you stop rambling there's work to be done So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun And they marched me away to the war And the band played Waltzing Matilda As the ship pulled away from the quay And amidst all the cheers, the flag waving, and the tears We sailed off to Gallipoli

How well I remember that terrible day Study Guide Page 20

How our blood stained the sand and the water And of how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter Johnny Turk he was waitin’, he primed himself well He showered us with bullets, he rained us with shells And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell Nearly blew us right back to Australia But the band played Waltzing Matilda When we stopped to bury our slain We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs Then we started all over again

And those that were left, well we tried to survive In that mad world of blood, death, and fire And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive Though around me the piled higher Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head And when I woke up in my hospital bed And saw what it had done, well I wished I was dead Never knew there was worse things than dying For I’ll go no more waltzing Matilda All around the green bush far and free For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs No more waltzing Matilda for me

So they gathered the crippled, the wounded, the maimed And they shipped us back home to Australia The legless, the armless, the blind, the insane Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay I looked at the place where my legs used to be And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me To grieve, to mourn, and to pity But the band played Waltzing Matilda As they carried us down the gangway But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared Then they turned all their faces away

And so now every April I sit on me porch And I watch the parade pass before me And I so my old comrades, how proudly they march Reviving old dreams of past glory And the old men march slowly, all bent, stiff and sore They’re tired old heroes from a forgotten war And the young people ask, "What are they marching for?" And I ask meself the same question But the band plays Waltzing Matilda And the old men still answer the call But as year follows year more old men disappear Some day no one will march there at all
