March to the Sea of Knowledge
Hello today we will be doing a Diorama for the project. I hope to have a fun educational project for the
class. The project will involve Justin Wambold and Austin Richardson. We feel very excited to do our part in
this project to teach others about Sherman's march to sea and the civil war. In order to teach this subject though,
many students would like to have a fun time though learning instead if hearing boring lectures, am I right,Highfive. So weve decided to put together a little diorama and poster that will give them info.
Well, every generation needs to know the things that have happened in the past and we should be able to
teach them what happened. We value the fact that students need to learn history and how we should learn from
such mistakes made in the past if we were ever to make them again in the future. We both hope to accomplish
this and make this a memory for everyone to remember about. Thank You.

I hope that we can create a diorama that can entertain everyone. Our project will show an accurate
representation of Shermans March To Sea. After we build the diorama we will make a poster to describe the
events of the war and go in depth about the march to sea. We will then give an oral presentation about our
diorama. Hopefully this will teach everyone about Shermans March to Sea

Result (10 pts)

At the beginning of the project we thought we were going to do a video. But we ended up doing a
diorama. The diorama was completed by Justin Wambold. The diorama was about Sherman's march to sea.
Justin used LINCOLN logs for the houses. It displayed the main idea of Shermans March to Sea.
I, Austin RIchardson, was in charge of the poster board. For the poster board i thought i needed a big
poster board for the project. It turns out everyone had mini posters while I had the humongous poster. On the
poster it showed information about the different events in Shermans March to Sea along with other facts. This
poster was fun to create because of all the information I learned.
The poster board and diorama were good for eachother since the poster wrapped around the diorama perfectly.
The diorama was a decent size poster laid on its side. The poster was a trifold 36 by 48 board.
Reflection (10 pts) In this project we learned about Shermans March to Sea. We learned all about the
destruction it cost what total war was. If you didnt know, total war is doing everything you can to win the war.
We also learned about what the march to sea did to the souths army effort. After the march to sea, the south
completely gave up on supporting the army. The north had completely destroyed everything. That is why the
south gave up. That is also what we learned In our project.
