World War I WebQuest
What is it like to be in a conflict as a nurse or medic?

Often referred to as non-combatants, the nurses and medics were the first to be called to the battlefields for help, after the battles had begun.
Instructions:
Your task is to follow each of the following pairs of links. After visiting each set of sites, your team should:
1.	Discuss what it was like to be a nurse or medic during World War I, as if you were this participant.
2.	Go to your team’s worksheet and write down an understanding or truth, based on the set #1 workstation/internet sites that you just visited [see below]
3.	Then proceed to the next pair of sites of materials and repeat steps 1 and 2
4.	When you have visited, discussed and written down your understandings from the 3 sets of websites and/or other work stations that you visited, you will then complete the last section of your worksheet that answers the question “What was it like to be a nurse or medic during this conflict?"

Remember, in the next stage [Stage 2] of this WebQuest, each member of your team will be sharing your team’s response with a larger group of participants. Make sure your understanding and analysis will help this larger group understand the essential question.
Remember - your entire team will be assessed on what you write down and turn in!
