Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These items will give our students opportunities to create stellar end of year projects for their project based learning unit on World War II.

For my students, I hope to see that they demonstrate their learning through creativity and using a more hands on approach to a unit rather than traditional method, by building World War II themed artifacts.

Providing these students with these materials can give them access to greater success and can offer them a new way of learning.

This unit requires students to pick a topic of interest and create an artifact of their choosing that reflects their research and therefore lets them express their creativity.
