Study Guide Page 1 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 military 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.
