Episode 4
Costa discusses his multi-day history lesson on World War I, in which he weaves together lecture, discussion, film, and poetry to address the Essential Question: Why did the soldiers continue to fight and die a purposeless, un-winnable war? Costa grounds his lesson in human emotions and motivations to elicit deep critical thinking by scholars as they investigate, analyze, discuss, and generate personal and plausible responses to the essential question.
