Day #7 (Tuesday, March 12) - WWII Podcasts - Clarklisto Q3

(20 minutes) As a group you will create a list of must haves when retelling your soldier's story. This is to be a bulleted list  and should appear on your workspace document in blue font. This list should be generated by talking as a group and determining what an audience of your peers will need in order to understand and be moved by your soldier's story.

Example - Daniel Inouye & Bombing of Pearl Harbor:
Awakens, radio warning
Japan is bombing PH "Not a Test"
"Saw the Planes"
18 years old, parents came from Japan
Doesn't want to admit it's happening - his family's homeland
Black smoke outside
Japanese planes buzz
Local Red Cross calls
He's a medic, wants to help
Chaos on the streets, disbelief
"You Dirty Japs" shaking his fists
Old Elementary School is aid station 
9AM a Japanese 2nd wave
Leaves aid station to go "where the trouble lies"
1/2 US Fleet destroyed at Pearl Harbor
USS Arizona hit 4 times by the Japanese
Reality of war smacks him in the face
He witnesses headless and legless victims
"Steps out of his body" - to help the wounded
Helped the injured, removed charred bodies, put bodies in boxes
Watched a man have to ID his wife and child
Worked 2 full days and nights
Inouye goes on to fight in WWII, loses an arm in Italy

Next we will ask you to identify the possibilities for stories within the main

story (SWS)

EX > DANIEL INOUYE - BOMBING OF PEARL HARBOR

Brainstorm

You will do this by creating a map that shows at least 6 researchable stories within the stories.

Decision time:

Consider each option and discuss the pros and cons of developing the story--consider how it will fit into
the main story you just finished talking about.

Decide who is doing which SWS.

Roll up your sleeves and research

Find an article from a reputable source that will give you enough information to write your own
"story within the story". Remember this is not an eyewitness account but more like a research article
that you need. Use the research strategies we used at the beginning of the year. You will be required
to get our approval for the article and the SWS.

Find a good article
Get it approved by your advisor

Provide link to your research and the topic of your SWS on the workspace.

Print the article

READ AND ANNOTATE

Remember, you have to write an interesting piece on this topic. This requires you to know it well. Read for understanding. If there is not enough information, find another resource.

HW: Article must be annotated heavily and notes taken
