American History through Media

The last project that I will be requiring is to choose an American War that has impacted the world.

The students have already determined which war they want to research.

Revolutionary War- April 30th-May 2nd
Civil War- May 5th-May 7th
WWI- May 8th- May 9th
WWII- May 12th- May16th
Korean- May19th-May 28th
Vietnam
Desert
Iraqi

The purpose of this assignment is to understand the impact that America has had on the world's development.
The more media that the students use to represent their war the better their grade will be.


Examples of media- movies, speeches, newspapers, books, TV, radio, artifacts, interviews, internet, pictures, music. . . . .

They can choose to do a paper, poster, powerpoint, 3-d project or ALL of THEM!

Dear Mrs. Nanna

They have keys
One is of a attack plan
One is more advanced
One is of German, France, and Belgium
One is a color coated
One has roads
They both have cities
One has more words
One has a circle of stars
One has two keys

Sincerely
Trevor L.

Differences:
The postcard from WWI were sad and gloomy. They showed death and peril. The ones from here are really happy and cheerful. another difference is there is words on the postcard from our time, but not on the one from WWI. There is color on our postcard, but there is none on the one from WWI.
The similarities are:
They both hve pictures on them. They also both are writable. They both are made of paper. They both have people on them.

2: They both have eyeholes
3: They both have extra fabrick on the bottom
4: they are both used during war
5: You can talk with them on
6: They both have tubes for breathing
7: they both go over your head and stay on
Different
1: The newer one hold gas out more
2: the older one looks like a bag
3: The newer one has goggles to look out of
4: The older one has a rectangle to see out of
5: the older one is HUGE!!!
BYE!!!
