Final+Project+Assessment

Final Project for WWII:

Rationale: Students will expand on the ideas that we learned in class surrounding World War II. Because of the shortened time in class we would like to give the students the option to look deeper into the subject of their choice.

Directions: Students will be in groups of four and they will choose an aspect of the War either at home or abroad and study it further into depth. Students will be responsible for both a visual aid as well as a short paper describing why they choose the aspect they did as well as a bibliography of at least 5 sources they used. Sources should include both Internet and book. Visual Aids can include and are not limited to: an imovie, a podcast, a Google Earth trip, a poster board, a movie, a paper, a powerpoint and or anything else the group can think of. If you come up with your own idea please get it approved by me prior to starting the project.

Students will be graded on both an individual as well as group level. Please include a list of what each group member did at the end of the paper.

Examples of Possible Projects: • Women in the War • Children affected the War • Propaganda • Soldier Prospective • The Attack on Pearl Harbor • Hitler’s/the Nazi Ideology • Civilian Prospective
 * American Children
 * German Children
 * Jewish Children
 * British Children
 * German

Disclaimer: Each group will pick one aspect of the War but no two groups can have the same project so tell me your idea as soon as possible!!!
