And, on success in getting students to read, think about, and discuss history. My recollections are that even history majors weren't consistently gung-ho over such an allegedly 'dry' subject. Classes like what you describe could shake that up. Best wishes with the course. And, on success in getting students to read, think about, and discuss history.

It's half the reason i study German history now. Anyways, My professor showed us Blackadder Goes Forth in class as a way of showing what trench life was like. Also to talk about societies collective memory of the war and how it is different from the memory of WWII. My WWI class in undergrad was my favorite class in all 4 years.
