Website of Community Outreach

Now that a bank of Veterans names have been identified from the images taken in the previous step and a curriculum tie-in has been determined-it is time to put it all together.  As an educational organization, pursue partnerships with support organizations-we have accounts for students with ancestry.com and several local VFWs and other Veteran organizations.  Students also have access to book resources on the topic.  In the corresponding course, build assignments encouraging students to create biographies of the Veterans.  These biographies focus on the same skills biographies always have:  research, citation, paraphrasing, etc...except they focus on a local Veteran rather than a famous historical personality.  The goal is to make the biography relevant by establishing a personal connection to a family member or neighbor.  When the biographies are complete; it is time to build the website to house the biographies.
