Operation Blackboard - World War II Invades the classroom - Project
Project overview
Using professional actors, a school day will be transformed into a World War II experience. Training camps, rather than lessons, will link areas of the curriculum to the World War II experience, using exercises, which engage the children in a purposeful way with the history and experiences of World War II. PE, for example, would take children through a boot camp with a Sergeant Major barking orders; geography would explore cartography based upon reconnaissance reports, led by a senior intelligence officer.
