Our plan is to try finishing the plan during class today or to finish the rest at home. The model will be done at home. My next action will be to have my entire project and plan done and present it tomorrow night.

Today I changed my project to a board game from a movie. I changed my project because of technical difficulties. I have a list of materials that I will need to finish this project and hopefully get this whole project done before it is due. What I did today doesn't really help answer my question but it helps me with my project overall. My next action is to make/buy the materials I need and to make the board game.
seven questions re-do
1. My research question is what was the soldiers experience during the Normandy beach invasion?
2. The form of which our final product will be a model. I am planning on making a model with the beach and how they arrived. Also what they went through and experiences.
3. I chose to do a model because we had technical difficulties with our movie.
4. The definition of the finished product will be a model showing the U.S. landing on shore of Normandy and fighting against the German defences.
5. Making the model will help us answer the question because it will visually show the soldiers experience landing on shore during D-Day and fighting.
6. The breakdown for my model is to buy the equipment we need or make what we need and start on the model.
7. My next action for the model will be to create a visual

Today I worked with my partner to get some parts together for our script. We didn't get very far on our script so it might take some time to get everything together. My goal for next class will be to get what we need and hopefully get some of our script down.

"Europe 1944-1945" by: World War II volume 8.
In this book, it talks about how the United States and Britain got together and decided on defeating Germany before turning to Japan. Also talks about how the British soldiers practiced getting over barbed wire defenses that it made them more experienced at amphibious landings than they were earlier in the war. And the German soldiers were held captive in 1944 June 6.

"World War II" Primary sources. By: Barbara C. Bigelow.
In this book it talks about how the invasion took place. It also has information on the war from the veterns. "After we jumped into the water, it was every man for himself. I waded parallel to the beach with my squad because the heavy fire was directed towards the boats... I saw Lieutenant Hilscher go down on his knees as a shell exploded. He fell into the hole caused by the explosion. He died there on the beach." This is what Sergeant Warner Hamlett said. It also talks about how everyone got hit and died, or hit.

Today I found two more index cards and a bunch of books to find reference. With these books I am going to try to get all the information I can out of these books. All this information helps me with my project because know all this information will help me and my partner to understand what happened better and so that our movie will run more smoothly. My next action is to take all my references home and to get all the index cards, get more done for the movie, and get most of the information I can out of these reference books.

"World WarII" by William L. O'Neil
In this book it talks about how dangerous the invasion was. Usually when you are attacking, you want more than the defenders but because Germany had 20 more divisions than the Allies it was a very high risk. Preparations were very well done, they couldn't beat the Germany's on foot so they sent in highly successful fighter-bombers.

status report
the six questions from Mr. Nilsen.
1. On my project I have started on my film. I haven't gotten very far with it but I got a start.
2. I still have the entire movie to make and still quiet some information to gather.
3. Making the movie was harder than I thought it would be. I thought making a movie would be somewhat difficult but it is very difficult.
4. To me finding the information was the easiest for this project so far.
5. If I could start my project over I would find my information or find a different topic. If I were to pick a different topic I would choose a topic that I am fimiliar with so that I know if the information is correct or incorrect.
6. Before Spring break I need to gather up all of my information for this project. After I get all the information to my project I will be able to start on our actual film. Hopefully I will be able to start on the film before spring break so we have more time to fix our errors.
