Linking to HBS Centenary year, Yr 8 students have been going back through the last 100 years of their own family histories to find family members who deserve a medal. Stories range from heroic acts in the world wars, setting up orphanages, giving a life for another and starting a new in a foreign country. Students have been looking at ways to use visual metaphors and signifiers to retell the stories of their heroes. The first part of the project requires students to recall their etching skills and create an etching plate from their medal design.
