Posted By: Christian Paulino On: 3/9/2008 8:23:06 PM Hello everyone, I am about to beginning a unit on WWII in my sophomore History class and really want to give my students a project that will make the effects of the war real to them and some how design something that can show it. I was thinking about having them re-create a submarine or even some aircraft carriers, however I don’t think those ideas really allow the students to design with their “D-spot” in mind. Does anyone have some ideas for me? Thanks!
