This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
The AFJROTC cadets/students at our school come from a low-income community. The demographics of the cadets/students are a mix of all ethnic groups (.4% American Indian, .5% Asian, 49% African-American, .1% Hawaiian Native, 3% Hispanic, and 44% Caucasian) and range from freshman to seniors. Our school is rated as a Title I school, and therefore, the students need resources to help them create Project-Based Learning (PBL). Our school is ranked 142nd within Arkansas. The AP® participation rate is 56%, and the total minority enrollment is 56%.
My Project
The students will learn about the historical event of D-Day and the importance of the major military operation during World War 2. Using model kits, paint and modeling materials, the students will create a huge 3' X 8' D-Day Diorama from the ocean transports to the beach landings. Then the students will design the cliffs with German Bunkers overlooking the invasion. The students will research the historical events and recreate the diorama to learn what exactly took place. Finally, the students will tag the specific areas of the diorama to highlight the exact locations where certain conflicts took place and how the Allies were able to overcome those obstacles.
