Project based learning hits a whole new level of GROSS when we study the Progressive Era. We learned how the Progressives see problems and want to fix them. The food industry is an area that really needs reform. We learned how Upton Sinclair sounds the alarm of the horrors of the meat packing industry. We also learned how more soldiers died eating canned meat than in battle during the Spanish American War. So of course our project should be a more indepth look of what meats come in a can today! No one has to eat anything BUT curiosity always seems to get the best of Freshmen and they get to sampling.

This PBL project is research skills with a twist! Recently in US History we talked about imperialism and how the US Navy was a way for America to flex its muscles to the rest of the world. The Great White Fleet placed America as the third greatest Navy of the world. The students focused on the Navy of the past as well as our present Navy in America. We were able to look at each others posters and write a reflective essay on how the Navy impacted imperialism, and how the Navy has changed or stayed the same in America. We all learned about the Navy new and old from each other and in a visual way. Check out the posters they created below.
