Debating Objections to the War

Scan of typed document that includes text describing that an individual is exempt from serving in a combat role during the war.

Through research, students will learn about conscientious objection and its role in World War I. After exploring the background of specific conscientious objectors, students will build an evidence-based argument. Finally, they will have an educated debate over the statement “Conscientious Objectors should be allowed to decline military participation in the Great War, despite the draft.”
