Montana and the "Great War" Lesson Plan (Designed for 5-8, but adaptable to high school).

Local Experiences of World War I Lesson Plan (High school). Students will conduct and share original research on ways the war impacted the people of their own county. The Montana Historical Society will include a link to their project on its Montana and the Great War website.
