Paper airplanes make a great project!
Recently I had students pretend that they were working in a factory under the Franklin Roosevelt Administration during World War II.
Recently, I had students pretend that they were working in a factory under the Franklin Roosevelt Administration during World War II. Their job was to build paper airplanes for the Tuskegee Airmen.
Paper airplane project
True, they could not build real planes but at this time, role playing and pretending worked just fine.
They made paper airplanes that they test flew down the hall way of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. When I showed the students the picture of the real Tuskegee Airman, George Watson, these students wanted to further this project by designing and drawing a Red Tail Airplane!
Warren Riddick’s design
As of now, our first design that was finished was by Warren Riddick, seventh grade student of Mr. Wronko’s social studies class. He was really inspired in creating this master piece as seen in this picture because he saw the image of George Watson and was inspired that this person fought bravely during World War II.
Great job Warren Riddick!
