MAIN-A Causes Mini Poster

The causes of WWI are made into the acronym MAIN-A. What do each of those letters stand for? We know based off of our discussions what those causes were but now we are going to make a poster that represents those causes.

Directions:

  1. Using the knowledge of what we discussed in class you are going to create a poster that shows one of the causes of WWI.
  2. Do not write what the cause is...later we will use them as flashcards to help us guess the cause you are trying to show us.
  3. Be creative and try to think about how you can represent your cause without actually writing it out.
  4. On the back of your paper, please write the cause and the definition.
