World War II Exibit Project



WW2 Museum Project 2019

Topics: See Attached Sheets

The Assignment: In groups of 1-2 students, you will be creating an exhibit to display to the class that demonstrates knowledge of a certain aspect of the war while teaches other students about your topic. You will be creating a “Learning Station” and a “Multimedia Presentation” that other students, faculty members, and administrators will visit. All “Learning Stations” will be displayed in class and will be graded on the quality of information, degree of interaction, ability to convey information, and thoroughness.

Format: You will be creating a poster that will show your information. You should organize it like a five paragraph essay. You will need to provide a basic Introduction to your exhibit that includes basic background info on your subject. (1 paragraph – 8-12 sentences with a thesis statement)

Next, the exhibit and its’ information will provide the Body of the project. You will provide essential information to your topic, display maps if necessary, provide illustrations, and include any interactive materials that augment your display. This should be broken up by topic like the body paragraphs of an essay. There should be a minimum of sections that all have multiple paragraphs.

Lastly, you will provide a list of things that someone should learn by the time they have completed your learning station, or a Conclusion. This should be a general overview of your project and will wrap up your project

You will be required to write 3 Questions about your exhibit that others students will have to answer. The answers should not be simply in the summary of your project.

Type of Exhibit: There are many ways to present information for this project. Each group will have to provide a color poster AND a multimedia presentation to fulfill the basic requirements to earn a “C” grade. You need to provide Pictures and drawings, along with type-written text. Beyond this, there are a variety of options that will raise a group’s grade to a B or A.

Be prepared to include one of the following with your project

Infographics: You will provide 6 pieces of information in graphic form that will easily convey information to anyone who comes to your display. These six illustrations can be about any aspect of your project but must be divided up and placed onto all 3 panels of your poster. Infographics must not be larger than a half sheet of paper (5.5” x 8.5”) per single illustration.



Audio Clips: Provide recordings that are appropriate to your topic and be prepared to provide a way to play and listen to the materials due to the limited resources of the Social Studies Department.

Video Clip: You will provide a video clip from a documentary, news source, movie, or student produced video to augment your exhibit. Please keep clips to under 2 minutes because of time constraints.

Misc. Objects: Provide models, uniforms, 3-D maps, and other items that are appropriate to your exhibit.

Grading: The “Exhibit” will be worth a total of 125 points

Poster: 50 Points

Multimedia 50 Points

Questions: 10 Points

Interactive Part: 15 Points

Due Date: 7:45 am _________________

Any later will result in the loss of a full grade on the project
