If your subject is not able to provide detailed, first-hand information of their account, then choose another subject or one of the project options.
Project
PROJECT OPTIONS-all pre-approvals must be the 11th of April
1. A model
Build a model of a World War II plane, ship, vehicle, etc. Your model must include a two paged, typed report about the model. (What is it? What were its technical specifications? What was its role in WWII? What was its history?) Models must be approved before assembly begins. Bring the unassembled model in to Mr. D. before you begin. Models that are not approved before assembly will not be accepted. You will be given detailed project requirements and instructions when you bring in your unassembled model.
2. A diorama
Build a diorama or scene from World War II. Dioramas must be pre-approved by Mr. D.
Explain what your diorama will depict and how you plan to build it. Your diorama must include a two paged, typed report. You will be given detailed project requirements and instructions when you present your plan.
3. A poster
Make a poster about some aspect of World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War. Your poster must be large, visual, colorful, and contain abundant historically accurate information. Poster topics must be specific. General topics like "World War II" will not be accepted. Poster topics must be approved by Mr. D. in advance.
4. A board game

playing board, pieces, and instructions for play. Your board game must include a two paged, typed report. You can do a variation of an existing game (e.g. World War II chess, or Vietnam War Monopoly), but do not simply steal an existing game. That would be plagiarism.

WORLD WAR II, the Korean or the Vietnam War MODEL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Assemble your model, being sure that it is painted in historically accurate colors. Large areas such as airplane
wing and body surfaces, ships, tank bodies, etc. need to be spray painted for even coverage. Smaller details such
as human figures (including pilots), propeller points, engine cowlings, etc. can be neatly brush painted. (It’s
usually easier to spray paint large parts before assembly.) Don’t forget any decals that come with the model.
2. Write a two paged, typed paper. Explain what your model is and what part it played in World War II, the Korean
or the Vietnam War. Remember to write in your own words and cite your sources. Plagiarism has no place in
any writing you turn in with your name on it.
3. Check your project against the rubric provided.
WORLD WAR II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War DIORAMA INSTRUCTIONS
1. Research your diorama. Build an authentic scene using realistic material. Be sure to avoid juvenile materials
such as popsicle sticks, Legos, Lincoln Logs, etc. The scene should have a realistic feel. Cute won’t get too
many points.
2. Write a two paged, typed, paper. Explain what your diorama is and what part it played in World
War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War. Remember to write in your own words and cite your sources.

other graphics as appropriate. Mount your poster on a firm backing. Tri-fold presentation boards aren’t required,
but they do give the best look to your poster.
2. Be sure your information is typed, and proofread it.
3. Be careful of stickers and other artwork. They are fine, but they must be historically accurate and appropriate to
your subject. The wrong artwork will cost you points.

with your name on it. You need to include a Works Cited page on the back of your poster.
