Often, the real-life experiences of soldiers gets lost back home when the war seems so far away. Scholars investigate the personal side of World War I in the trenches of Europe to complete a collaborative social studies activity. When finished, they leave with an understanding of life in the middle of war, and how poetry explains and distances from your surroundings.
