World War II Project
World War II Project
This example of creation based learning is designed to give students the opportunity to guide their own learning on any topic that relates to WWII. Students can pick anything from an individual, to a particular battle, to the type of toys kids played with during the war. The focus is not on what the teacher wants them to learn. Instead the focus is on what the students want to learn.

How creations were shared
Throughout the year, students have received feedback from their teacher and peers. This feedback helps them make adjustments and improve their creation/presentation skills. Upon completion of their website, students share their work with their peers in the discussion forum in itslearning.
