Mooresville High School, located in Mooresville, North Carolina, enrolls 1,400 students in grades 9-12. The student body is fairly homogeneous, with about 78% identifying themselves as white, non-Hispanic. Located about 25 miles north of Charlotte, Mooresville has a population of about 20,000, and is the home to the corporate headquarters of Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse. It is perhaps best known as the home of many NASCAR racing teams, which have earned the city the nickname “Race City USA.” // []  // Big Idea ** War  ** Question ** What is war and how does it affect society? ** Challenge **  Using WWI as a reference point, tell the story of war and its impact on society. ** The 49 students who participated in this project researched World War I and created a multimedia website, including movies and podcasts, to tell the story of war. The site includes a Webquest to help visitors learn more on their own as they complete activities designed by the students. The students also created a video to promote the website. The site can be found at []
