Statistics of World War I

When studying WWI, it's important for students to understand the significance on a global scale. In this activity, students will create a spider map highlighting significant statistics relating to the war. Students can use the "Infographics" section of the Storyboard Creator to help them create their projects. Visualizing data is a great way to help students remember it, rather than having them memorize numbers without context.

Significant Statistical Topics

• Military Casualties of WWI
• Civilian Casualties of WWI
• Financial cost of the war
• Widows/Orphans created by the war
• Refugees of WWI
• Deadliest battles of WWI
• Prisoners of War of WWI
• Deaths caused by disease throughout the War

• # of military items (guns, bullets, mines, bombs) used by country
• Casualties by Month/Year during the war
• # of PTSD or “shell shocked” soldiers
