from Friends Academy in North Dartmouth, MA interviewed WWII
veterans and exhibited war memorabilia for their school and public
communities. In addition, students actively engaged
with peers around the world through virtual exchange. iEARN's
Year 1945 Project asks students to investigate aspects of life in 1945
in their country. Students are encourage to act as newspaper reporters
and write in the first person as though they lived during that time.
