The PowerPoint is loaded with cool animations, pictures, quotes, video links, and interesting facts/vital content for students. It begins with a focus on pre-WWI Germany and then drifts into the other MAIN causes of the war. After analyzing these individually, it looks at the actual 'spark' of the war found in the Balkans where the Archduke was assassinated. It ends after explaining the chain reactions of declarations of war from several countries onto others.
Look for the asterisks next to certain terms, people, etc... those are there for students to underline/highlight as key information. The notes are concise and allow the students to focus on the lesson. They also have built in bellworks and focus questions. Please note they contain the content, but not quotes, supplemental information, etc. Basically, everything you need without dragging the kids down in detail.
