LI: To retell an event in history through the fictional eyes of someone who was there
This week for writing, I created a diary from the view of a person that may have lived through WW1. LS2 has been looking through old artifacts from WW1 left from the ANZAC’s creating basic knowledge to make a diary from the POV of a soilder.
First, I had to have some basic knowledge of the ANZAC’s in galipoli, which I didn’t; So I learnt that they had arrived to golipoli in 1915 April 25th, using that to start my diary.
Next, from what I had learnt I used it to create a diary that sounded slightly authentic. There was some unrealistic parts like how my character didn’t write in his diary for 3 months, and some realistic parts, like him feeling terrible for his first kill.
Lastly, I made a video to speak the diary I wrote to make a visual learning experience, that is for another blog though.
