It has the causes, key battles, significant people, homefront, results (treaty), and impact of the war. You could break it down in a variety of ways. An on-line graphic organizer that I learned about in another TIE class that I really like is search Google, go to options, and scroll down to Wonder Wheel and Timeline. Students really like these options and they are a great research tool. ||
 * Ron Grimsley || I use a graphic organizer in my media course to start the discussion on the impact of media in our lives.

They create another layer of bubbles from each of these impacts. The goal is to show how far-reaching the deep the impacts of media to our society are. ||
