VETERAN’S DAY PROJECT
Major grade!!!
On November 11, 2015 – Veteran’s Day – Schindewolf will be honoring friends and family members who have served our country in the United States Armed Forces.
Your part in this salute to veterans will be to research the history of the United States military service of a family member or a friend/acquaintance and make a poster showing the results of your research. You will need to interview your veteran, if possible, asking such questions as: what branch of service were you in, when, your rank, honors received, wars fought in, etc.
Requirements: Poster must be made using one-half sheet of poster board- NO foam board
The poster is decorated in a manner that shows honor for service to our country. This means the poster is attractive in terms of design, layout, and neatness. Lettering should be large and legible. Use the computer to print out your information.
