The Return of the Cretaceous War ZoneCretaceous War Zone: This project allowed students to take prehistoric creatures from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous period and put them in combat situations to see what creature would survive. The Cretaceous War Zone promoted students to conduct research about the physical aspects of the prehistoric creatures, geography, and forensics. Now that an overview of the Cretaceous Warzone was given, let’s hear from the students from Mr. Wronko’s class.

After seeing images of Godzilla from Godzilla 2014, Gamera from Gamera 2016, and Kong from Kong: Skull Island 2017, the students demanded that all these creatures be included in the Cretaceous Warzone. In
order this to happen, Mr. Wronko once again gave the students a challenge. He informed his students that they must tie all creatures into something regarding history and science. The students tied Godzilla from 2014 to the use of the Atomic and Hydrogen Bomb, Gamera to possible life on Mars and the creation of the Solar System, and Kong to zoology, cryptozoology, and the Vietnam War.

Now imagine what these students have created. You have the Indominus Rex, Godzilla from Godzilla Resurgence, Godzilla from Godzilla 2014, Gamera, and Kong involved in combat with known prehistoric creatures. Wow, the students of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School have a great imagination.
