Benjamin Hunt

Hunt’s innovative teaching idea, “Operation Anzio,” focuses on teaching students to learn research skills, civic values and the history of World War II. These two key ideas will allow students to actively-research and discover the importance of historical methodology, which is important to stress the sacrifices of veterans in promoting good civic values. Students involved in the project will identify and research veterans from the local community. With the Voya grant, students will be able to print museum-style foam core panels to create a lasting exhibit and allow the exhibit to travel to schools and communities where the veterans were original located.
