What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students describe how the 167th Infantry, formerly the 4th Alabama, fought in France during World War I. They explain how Alabamians at home helped through farming, Liberty Bond purchases, and Red Cross work.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can place the 167th in France and describe its role in combat. They can give a specific example of help from Alabama and explain how it differed from fighting overseas.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think the 4th Alabama and the 167th Infantry were different units. They may think the regiment fought in Alabama or that only soldiers helped the war effort.
How to Assess It
- Use this exit ticket: “What did the 167th Infantry do in France? Describe one way an Alabamian helped from home.”
