Focus:
The students are to learn more about each branch of the military including the dates in which they were founded as well as be able to recognize the logos associated with each branch. By researching and applying what they have learned to create a brochure, the students are not only understanding what they are learning, but are also putting that knowledge to use by creating a brochure. Once each student has had a chance to view the brochures, he or she will be able to draw their own conclusion about each branch of the armed forces. The opinions of the students will be able to be viewed and displayed on the class bar graph.
