This spring I was working online and I happened to learn about the true story of RAGS. We watched the video about this hero of WWI and I decided that I should learn more. Rags was a great protagonist in Europe and WWI.
When I went to school I read some poems about WWI but I had never read about animals and the number of animals that died at war.

When I searched Europeana some years ago I discovered a lot of new informaton about WWI and animals and how many of them became protagonists of what happened.

My lesson is based on a lot of project work and online research as at school I cannot rely much on good internet access. However, I think that working from home and working with students by using a good LMS can be helpful to create a more engaging learning environment. I choose WESCHOOL but I have also used EDMODO. Both are good LMS as they help students and learners to work online and also collaborate and share materials and also discuss online.
I am going to post my lesson plan with the learning scenario online now as I have just a few hours before the deadline.
I am going to wait later for some lessons to review.
